Creating additional Linux users

If needed, create additional users with Linux sudo privileges on the x86 server.

If you will be implementing Container installation (multiple vSLX labs), best practice is to create a user for each container-based virtual lab.

  1. Create a user. 
    user@ubuntu:~$ sudo adduser --shell /bin/bash --home /home/vlab1_user vlab1_user
  2. When prompted, set the password. 
    Enter new UNIX password: 
**********
  3. Add the user to the sudo group. 
    user@ubuntu:~$ sudo usermod -a -G sudo vlab1_user
  4. To verify that the new user is created and belongs to the sudo group, enter the sudo groups command. 
    user@ubuntu:~$ sudo groups vlab1_user
