I have Drupal 8 minimal installation profile and it does not seem to have provided super user status to the first admin account created during the installation process.

How do I enable it?

  • Welcome to drupal.stackexchange, what is your Drupal version? do you looked at users tables on your database? is there any user there?

    If I were you, I would use normal/regular installation. Minimal installation is just a big headache. You're better off using normal/regular and then uninstall the modules you do not want.

User 1 doesn't need any roles to have super user status. User 1 is exempted from the permissions system entirely. So, they automatically have all permissions, regardless of roles they may or may not have.

    Yes. Think of user 1 as 'root' in linux. But also, do not delete user 0, or user 1.
