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. The IP address is 10.91.77.39. The hostname is cs-ecg-web-01.
--The best way to ssh is to use ssh [user]@cs-ecg-web-01.
-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.
