How to manage VPS users?
In all Linux/Unix-based systems you can create a new user in such a way:
Run Terminal under your superadmin and typeÂ
useradd -m USERNAME , where
-m - optional flag, creating a folder for this user (not needed for certain cervices)
USERNAME - name of the user you want to create
Then you should set a password for this user. Type the following:
passwd USERNAME , and press Enter
You will be requested to enter a password and re-enter it for confirmation. We recommend using strong passwords - with upper and lower case letters, numbers and special symbols.
You can also specify a group this user will be put into:
usermod -G group1,group2,groupN USERNAME
or
vigr -g , where
-G - flag putting a user into certain group or several groups at once
