add user to multiple groups ubuntu
To add a user to multiple groups in Ubuntu using the command line, you can follow these steps:
- Open a terminal window.
- Use the
sudo usermod
command to modify the user's group membership. The basic syntax is as follows:
sudo usermod -aG group1,group2,group3 username
Replace group1
, group2
, and group3
with the actual group names you want to add the user to, and replace username
with the actual username.
For example, if you want to add the user "john" to the groups "admin", "developers", and "staff", you would run the following command:
sudo usermod -aG admin,developers,staff john
- After executing the command, the user will be added to the specified groups. You can verify the changes by using the
groups
command followed by the username:
groups username
This will display a list of groups the user belongs to.
That's it! The user will now be a member of multiple groups in Ubuntu.
