HELP, Change user status to administrator in Zorin OS 16 Lite

I suspect new user account will default to 'standard'. Just open users with primary user, go to Settings, then Users and change from standard to administrator. That said for added security you should create a separate administrator account, make all other users standard and when wanting to install anything, users should get asked for admin password. That is how it works in MX-Linux xfce which is same DE as Zorin Lite.
