Linux : Manage Users

Creating(new user) or deleting existing users from your Linux system is very simple. All you need to do is to login into your system with Administration rights. And follow the below steps...

1. Go to Settings(by clicking the setting icon placed at top-right side of your system).

2. Select “System Settings”.

3. Now Click “User Account”

4. Since the '+' and '-' buttons are disabled initially, so it’s not possible to Add or Remove the users at this stage. In order to do that, we need to unlock the access rights. We can unlock it bu just clicking upon the Unlock button situated at the Top-Right side of this screen.

5. Enter your Admin password.

6. Now you can see the ‘+’ and ‘-’ button has been enabled. Use ‘+’ for adding a new user and ‘-’ for removing an existing user from your system. But before removing a user, make sure that User is selected.

Let’s Add a New User first.

Well, for that, I need to click upon that ‘+’ button. The moment you click the button, you will get the following screen....

The drop down menu here(at the top) is for selecting the user type(Standard or Administrator). Next field asks for the Full Name of the user. The last field(i.e username) will be auto filled.

Now Click the Add button. It will ask for your password once again. Provide your admin password and You are done!!

You can delete the user anytime by clicking the '-' button. 

In the above screen, you can select your option and the selected user will be deleted from your system.

Have a Good Day!! Enjoy..........
