Lineage OS replaced CyanogenMod. Root isn’t enabled by default – this guide covers manually enabling root access for apps or ADB on Lineage OS.
The Process to Enable Root Access On Lineage ROM is same as CM14 or other older CyanogenMod ROMs.Lineage allows users to choose which apps to give root access or not. Users can manually allow root to Apps only OR ADB only OR both Apps & ADB.
After the death of CyanogenMod, Lineage took the place of CM from where CM has left and now in this short time there are many unofficial lineage os updates for many devices. You can check the device for which lineage OS ROM is available -> Full List of devices which has received Lineage OS

Solo me aparece ADB no aplocaciones por que ? Ayuda ! !
lineage is not prerooted at all, you need to install a rooting package manually. Frome their website:
We will NOT be shipping root baked into the ROM.
Root will be a downloadable zip based install similar to gapps installation (only need to flash it once).
mine says adb only with no option for apps…
I am getting the option for ADB only but I want root for apps also
I have LO 18.1 and admin access don’t show in developer options. Do you know which is the problem or issue
