Sometimes I use my CPU as a root user, but mostly as a non-privileged user. As a non-privileged user I also need to change files created by the root user.

Do your files have group-write permission? See: http://askubuntu.com/a/94864/158442, http://askubuntu.com/q/46331/158442 – muru Jun 25 '15 at 22:17

@muru: Yes, the files have group-write permission – Tomáš Pečený Jun 25 '15 at 22:36

Just use sudo whenever you want to change files?
That way, you're normally a Standard user, but can be an Administrator.
Use sudo -i for graphical programs.

@ Tim: If I try using sudo as a non-privileged user, I get a message that the user is not a sudoer. – Tomáš Pečený Jun 25 '15 at 22:44

Because I seek for methods how to shorten the time when my CPUs are connected to the network through privileged users, see comments in http://askubuntu.com/questions/641099/how-to-use-sudo-from-a-standard-user. – Tomáš Pečený Jun 26 '15 at 09:34

Why does it matter that you are a privileged user if you need a password to do anything? – Tim Jun 26 '15 at 09:36

I see I have needlessly used the particular example with files created by the root user. But I wish to change files created by an other user of my group generally, also if he is not a privileged one. The question should have been: 'What commands are used for adding a member to my group with a permission to change my files?'. Thanks! – Tomáš Pečený Jul 06 '15 at 16:11
