→Adding a User to an Ubuntu Linux System
De-select any privileges you do not wish the new user to have. In particular you will wna to ensure the user does not have ''Administration'' privilege unless the user is a trusted system administrator. The other privileges are usually considered to be safe for the typical user.
The final screen on the ''Add user dialog'' allows ''Advanced''' settings to be defined. These include such issues as the home directory of the user (traditionally /usr/''username''), tyhe type of shell that is presented as the command line in a terminal window (Bash is usually tyhe default), the group to which the user belongs and the user ID. Use the drop down group menu to change the user's group membership to a different group:
