Dolphin Plasma5: no root folders

I have searched widely online to find answers how to get root folders to appear in Dolphin & have tried a few things in Dolphin itself, but without success.
Could you tell me how to achieve this?

Also, can I automatically open these folders as a superuser or does that need to be configured?

Thank You.
 
Hello dalpets,

To come to the root folders click on the arrow at the bold written Home.

You can open some directories from the usr account but not all.

In x11-fm/xfe those you cannot open, such as /root/.dbus, are marked with a padlock. In the same directory I can open /root/.config but not all sub-directories contained therein.
 
If you are interested in "visual" file management for the root user, suggest a terminal file manager such as sysutils/lfm or misc/mc. Both are dual-paned managers and show source/destination. Very easy to use although midnight commander (mc) is more full featured. They run in a terminal so will use terminal editing tools for text files by default.
 
in the Desktop directory create file root.desktop
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Icon=folder-root
Name= Root directory
Type=Link
URL=/

or click right mouse button on dolphin left area called "places ". Then click add, then add label and destination what you want. for example
label root
place /
