Its really the decision of the person. If you want to have edit-access  
to all their appointments, and they agree, they can simply put you in  
their edit-access-list (scheduler preferences). In fact, as the admin,  
you can do this in the template user (and the person can choose to  
change the setting when creating and apt).

Real 'delegate' functionality would be better of course (you could  
configure yourself as the delegate for all others and have all  
permissions they have).

Doing stuff as root also destroys 'accountability', since the actor  
doesn't show up in the logs, but just root.
(again, a bit unfortunate legacy that 'root' is tied to the special  
UID 10000, all accounts should be able to join a 'root' role).

The database/host admin is NOT necessarily the same person as the OGo  
admin.
