| = AddUsersHowto = == How to Add Users == Here we will discuss adding users to your Ubuntu system. When you first install Ubuntu you have to setup one user account. In the future you may wish to set up more accounts for other users or other accounts for yourself. This will be a brief how-to for setting up users. There are two ways to add a user. You can use the graphical tool, located in ''Computer'' > ''System Configuration'' > ''Users and Groups'' or use the command-line. Doing it graphically is easier, the command-line more powerful, especially if you want to add more than one user. === Graphical Users and Groups tool === ''Location:'' ''Computer'' > ''System Configuration'' > ''Users and Groups'' http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/UserConfigPic.png Press ''+ Add User'', the window on the left-side will open. The minimum requirements are Username and password. For the Username, do '''not''' use spaces, and '''do''' use ASCII characters. On the ''User privileges'' tab, add privileges that the new user will have access to, such as ''use audio devices''. http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/UserConfigPic2.png === Command-line === To add a user you must use the {{{sudo}}} command (for an explanation of what that means, see the RootSudo page. This is how to add a user. {{{ bash:~$ sudo adduser <username> }}} Note: do not use the useradd command. To see the options for adding a user try the {{{man}}} command. {{{ bash:~$ man adduser }}} You might also wish to create a new group for your users. {{{ bash:~$ sudo addgroup <groupname> }}} To add a new user to a existing group you would do this: {{{ bash:~$ sudo adduser <username> audio }}} This would add <username> to the {{{audio}}} group. I hope this page was helpful; if you would like to add to it, feel free. |
