For security reasons you don't want to add the normal desktop user to wheel group. Or do you want that?
Could you expand on this, please?
If we can not add the normal user to the wheel group, then what can we do?
Yes, compare it to the installer giving the option to make the user password the same as root's.
I have seen comments against wheel for decades, even in documentation, but never an explanation.
