    On my own computers I typically have the two logins you mentioned, the user and the root account, since there's only one of me and only I use the computers. On the computer I recently had for work there were many accounts, since the sysadmins sometimes needed to SSH in. I also selectively added accounts for some of my coworkers as needed.

    If I lived with any family, making non-sudoer accounts for them on at least some of the machines would seem like a pretty normal thing.

    It depends on the computer. Some of them have multiple local accounts because they're used by multiple people. Most of them have an account for me and for root. In most of those, actually logging in as root is disabled, though.

      What's the context? I'm assuming this is in a workplace? IT or non IT?

        These are my personal systems on my home network. I have a strict policy that logins aren't shared, so everyone gets their own.

    Two, user and root, but I live alone and don't have to share with anyone.
