HOW TO CREATE USER IN LINUX USING CLI

In Linux Users are mapped to User-ID or UIDs. For Super User root UID is 0 . If we create User in our Linux box UID of these users start from UID 1000 and these known as unprivileged users or non-root user or normal Users. To create these users in Linux from CLI we need to use useradd command .

So first login with super user root or you can use sudo if you have sudo privilege .

~#useradd <username> ## this is the syntax of useradd command wherein in place of <username> you have to give name of the user you want to create.

For example I want to create a user with name testuser so the command would be :-

~# useradd testuser

So the above command will create a user with name testuser and UID of this user would be next free UID above 1000.

So this is just a very basic idea on User creation in Linux from CLI.
