I apologize, but I think that this statement about everyone with

You can just create an root account for every people with root
access,
giving them the ID 0 and you will not need to communicate highly
sensitive passwords.
Which would be a major security risk. You do NOT want a bunch of ids
with root privileges. Nor do you want anyone but the system
administrator (and backup) to have full root access to the system.
