How to Add Users to Managed and Engineers Groups

How can you add users Sam, Joe, Amy, and Sara to the managed group?

What command should you use to add users to the engineers group?

To add users Sam, Joe, Amy, and Sara to the managed group, you can use the following commands in the terminal:

a. sudo usermod -aG managed sam
b. sudo usermod -aG managed joe
c. sudo usermod -aG managed amy
d. sudo usermod -aG managed sara

To add these same users to the engineers group, you can use the following commands:

a. sudo usermod -aG engineers sam
b. sudo usermod -aG engineers joe
c. sudo usermod -aG engineers amy
d. sudo usermod -aG engineers sara

These commands will add each user to the specified group. The -aG option ensures that the user is added to the group without removing them from any other groups they may already be a part of.

Adding users to specific groups in Linux can be done easily using the usermod command. By including the -aG option followed by the group name and user's username, you can add users to desired groups.

For example, in this scenario, to add Sam, Joe, Amy, and Sara to the managed group, you simply need to run the usermod command with the -aG managed option for each user. Similarly, for adding them to the engineers group, you would use the -aG engineers option.

It is important to specify the group name correctly to ensure that users are added to the intended group. Running these commands as a superuser (sudo) grants the necessary permissions to make these changes to user groups.

By following these steps, you can efficiently manage the group memberships of users in your Linux system.
