superusers
System access elite
Superusers are people with advanced skills or privileges in a system.
In computing, a superuser has administrative access that bypasses normal restrictions—root access on Unix systems, for instance.
More broadly, superusers are power users who know a product or platform far better than average: The app's superusers discovered the bug before the developers did.
