In Linux, the user account with full privileges is the root account. This account has unrestricted access to all commands and files on the system, allowing it to perform any administrative tasks, such as installing software, changing system configurations, and managing user permissions. It is important to use the root account cautiously, as improper use can lead to system instability or security vulnerabilities. Regular users can gain temporary root privileges using the sudo
command if configured to do so.
With most Unix-derived systems, "root" is the super-user account.
The root account is the administrative account on Linux; this account has control over everything in the system.
In linux adduser and useradd commands are used to add user account.
One root account
User Account Control (UAC)
To create a new user account under any Linux distribution use command called useradd. The system administrator is responsible for creating account. Login as root user (or use sudo command).
AR-25 requires the non-privilege account to be used for routine activity
A "root" user has the power to do anything on a Linux system. A "normal user" will be assigned some of these capabilities based on what group they are in, but is generally prevented from running any commands that may affect the system outside of their home directory. Users can be granted "sudo" rights, which allows them to run the sudo command and temporarily be granted root privileges.
The "whoami" command should show you what account you are currently using.
chown user file dont forget that you should be owner of the file or root to give privilege to other users to a file
Check what kind of account you have. It might happened that it changed your user group from administrator to user. Which is very reasonable. Also check your account properties.
Yes Linux does support the creation of multiple user accounts. If you wish to learn to use the command line, these commands are how you create a new account along with a password. 1) useradd "new account name" 2) passwd "name of new account" you will be prompted for a password then asked to retype it. to delete a user type: userdel "name of account" to delete the account and all the accounts files type: userdel -r "name of account" All of the commands I've listed must be run by the root account.
