Description

For this specific document I'm using, there is a confusing mix of root user logged in but all commands are run showing "$" shell prompt (which is typically non-root user).

The shell prompts should be changed to "#" but if that somehow confuses someone into thinking it's a comment and not a Linux shell command, then perhaps to be crystal clear every command should have something like this as the first part:
"[root@bastion] # " or "[root@helper] # "

Done means the document consistently identifies root shell commands without ambiguity.
