Looking a graphical tool to manage users and groups in Ubuntu Desktop? Try the classic Gnome user settings tool.<\/p>\n
A user is anyone who uses a computer, and users may be grouped together into a “group”. Users and groups are used to control access to the system’s files, directories, and peripherals. <\/p>\n
For those hate Linux commands, the classic GUI tool, which was default in Ubuntu when it was Gnome 2, allows to add, remove, edit users and groups.<\/p>\n
Like system default User Settings<\/i>, it offers options to add, remove, and edit all user accounts. Though there are a few differences:<\/p>\n By clicking on “Manage Groups” button, you can then add, remove, edit groups. <\/p>\n To add or remove a user from a group, simply go to group properties, and check or un-check the user name under Group Numbers<\/i>.<\/p>\n To install the GUI user and group managing tool<\/b>, open terminal from system app launcher and run command:<\/p>\n Then search for and open “Users and Groups” from system app launcher and enjoy!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/old-usersettings.jpg\")
