Samba user for root

I need to have one Samba account for allowing one person read/write access to every shared file. However, when I try to create a Samba User for root in system-config-samba, I get the message An account for this user already exists. Please try again. . I can add Samba users for all other accounts. Is this some security feature or I am missing something here ?

Sorry. My bad. I had to set the samba password for root and add an user. After this, I could see the root user along with others in system-config-samba
