# Single-User Mode
In single-user mode, all Nix operations that access the database in
`prefix/var/nix/db` or modify the Nix store in `prefix/store` must be
performed under the user ID that owns those directories. This is
typically root. (If you install from RPM packages, thats in fact the
default ownership.) However, on single-user machines, it is often
convenient to `chown` those directories to your normal user account so
that you dont have to `su` to root all the time.
