Adding a new user

• Connect to the UML VPN or be connected to the on-campus network.
  • Note: The student wireless is not on-campus. Only the VPN and certain wired connections can connect to the server via SSH.
• SSH into the MYR server.
• Run the command sudo adduser [USERNAME] by replacing [USERNAME] with the new user's username.
  • Follow the prompts to set the password and user information.
• If the user requires sudo access run the command sudo adduser [USERNAME] sudo.
  • Users only need sudo access to update Ubuntu for the most part. Sudo should be kept restricted to only those who require sudo access.
• If the user requires SSH access (they do, otherwise they don't need an account) run sudo adduser [USERNAME] sshlogin.
• Give the user their username and password. Ideally do not send their username and password using the same method.
  • If the user will be doing updates of MYR or the MYR backend, give them the app password as well.
• Update this document.
