Heres a beginners guide to how it all works.

Linux stores a list of all users in the ‘/etc/groups’ file.

Give the appropriate name that identifies the other user and tick the encrypt checkbox to secure their home folder.

The Beginner’s Guide to Managing Users and Groups in Linux

poke the Advanced configs button to configure the user’s privileges.

The user management module lists Anna’s privileges under the User Privileges tab.

We should give the K-12 students the privileges to fire off the educational software.

Linux stores most of the executables under /usr/bin, for example, Linux stores Anki under /usr/bin/anki.

This command gives the member of K12 group access to Anki and Kig.

The O option indicates that we are modifying the access right of the Other group.

The man page of chmod gives a detailed explanation of these options.
