Jack Wallen walks you through creating new users and groups on Linux and adding those new users to the new groups.

For example, dirty_sockv1 uses the create-user API. That API actually uses a back-end Linux command "adduser" which is not included in all distros of Linux (some just have useradd, for example).

Adding a user with admin privileges on Linux is easier than you think. Jack Wallen shows you how.

Here's a quick guide to adding users and groups, and then how to add users to groups, all from the command line on the Linux platform.
