Step 1: Open the Terminal
Access the terminal with Ctrl + Alt + T or search for “Terminal” or “Konsole” in your system’s application menu.
Step 2: Create a New User
Create a new user by entering:
sudo adduser <username>Replace <username> with the desired username. Confirm the user creation by pressing Y and Enter.
Step 3: Create a New Group
Create a new group by entering:
sudo groupadd <groupname>Replace <groupname> with the desired group name.
Step 4: Add the User to the Group
Add the user to the group with:
sudo usermod -aG <groupname> <username>Replace <groupname> and <username> with the appropriate values.
That’s it! You’ve created a new user and group, and added the user to the group in Linux. Remember to manage user accounts and group memberships to maintain a secure and organized system.
