Managing system users and groups
The system administrator or root user is responsible for managing the system users and groups. Corel LINUX is a multi-user operating system. Multiple users can log in to one computer at the same time from remote terminals. To keep track of multiple users, you can create a user account with a unique identification and password for each user.
Managing users
The User Manager lets the root user add user accounts to the system, and customize each user's account information and personal information. You can delete users from the system.
Managing groups
As the root user, you can also create user groups. A group is a user classification used to assign file access permissions. Each group has specific file access permissions associated with it, so that users assigned to that group are automatically assigned the permissions associated with that group. For more information about setting file permissions, see "Setting permissions and ownerships."
You can assign users to multiple groups. For example, a user who belongs to the "Mail" group can also belong to the "Games" group. This user has access to the Mail and Games files.
