Managing Users In Ubuntu

Getting to the User Settings


It is pretty straightforward to get to the User Account Settings. Click the System menu in the upper right corner and select System Settings.


The System Settings window will pop up, select User Accounts in the bottom right corner.


Here you can see all of the users on the computer, click Unlock in the upper right corner to make changes.


Click the + sign in the lower left corner to add a new account. Then input the account details and sect whether or not the account is an administrator.


After you create the account, select it and click next to the password field. This pulls up a popup where you input all the password and logon details. Click Change to complete this step.


If you select the - in the lower left corner it will delete the account and you will be prompted whether or not to keep the files.

That is how you manage users in Ubuntu. Very simple and easy to do, yet secure at the same time.
