just a note on the wording.. I'd suggest to replace
Note: The reason user crontabs exist is to allow individual users to
schedule tasks without the need for root priviledges. Commands in a
user's crontab run with the permissions of the user who owns the
crontab.
The root user can have a user crontab just like any other user. This is
a different crontab from /etc/crontab (the system crontab). Because of
the system crontab, there's generally no reason to create a user
crontab for root.
