Creating users

Creating users

Here we will simply add a new user to our system and give them wheel access

Add a user

  • Add user
useradd -m -g wheel <your_user>
  • Create password
passwd <your_user>

Switch users

To switch to your user run:

su <your_user>

Giving your user access to sudo

Make sure you have vi installed

Enter:

visudo

and uncomment this line so it looks like this

%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL

if you hate typing your password everytime like me do this instead

%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Need more?

check out man pages for the following:

  • useradd
  • userdel
  • groupadd
  • groupdel

you can do this by typing:

man <command>
