Create administrator account

Individual administrator accounts should be created for each LI that manages the machine.

• Login to the machine with the ece-li-admin account.

• Add the new user account:

  Code Block
  sudo adduser username

• Enter any relevant information for the user account.

• Add the user to the sudo group:

  Code Block
  sudo usermod -aG sudo username

• To test the new account, logout and log back in using the new user account.
