The grub2 boot loader should have a superuser account and password
protection enabled to protect boot-time settings.
To maximize the protection, select a password-protected superuser account with unique name, and modify the
/etc/grub.d/01_users configuration file to reflect the account name change.
It is highly suggested not to use common administrator account names like root,
admin, or administrator for the grub2 superuser account.
Change the superuser to a different username (The default is 'root').
$ sed -i 's/\(set superusers=\).*/\1"<unique user ID>"/g' /etc/grub.d/01_users
Once the superuser account has been added,
update the
grub.cfg file by running:
grubby --update-kernel=ALL
