In the initial server setup, there is only one user account created and that is &#8220;root&#8221; user account. This root user has the highest privileges and has access to all files and commands on the system. But having too many privileges and running as root user is not always recommended and if you are not careful enough it can have destructive consequences for your system.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why it is recommended to create additional users with limited privileges for your most common tasks. A new user account should also be created for any other user that will be using your server. Additionally, we will also show you how to give those users root privileges when necessary through the sudo command.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6634511a50c73\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6634511a50c73\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-create-and-delete-a-user-on-debian-9\/#Create-a-new-User-on-Debian-9\" title=\"Create a new User on Debian 9\">Create a new User on Debian 9<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-create-and-delete-a-user-on-debian-9\/#Add-User-to-the-sudo-Group-on-Debian-9\" title=\"Add User to the sudo Group on Debian 9\">Add User to the sudo Group on Debian 9<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-create-and-delete-a-user-on-debian-9\/#Delete-a-User-on-Debian-9\" title=\"Delete a User on Debian 9\">Delete a User on Debian 9<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create-a-new-User-on-Debian-9\"><\/span>Create a new User on Debian 9<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First, you need to establish a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/connect-to-your-linux-vps-via-ssh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">connection to your server as user root via SSH<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Once logged, you can create a new user with the\u00a0<strong>adduser<\/strong> command. In our example, we will create a user called \u201cnewuser\u201d. To do this, simply type in the following in your command line:<\/p>\n<pre>adduser newuser<\/pre>\n<p>You will be asked some additional questions.<br \/>\nFirst, you will need to enter and confirm a password for this user.<br \/>\nThen you will be asked for some additional information about the user, such as full name, room number, work phone, home phone and other. This information is optional and you can just press ENTER on each question to skip it.<br \/>\nIn the end, you will be asked for confirmation of all the information you have entered so far. If everything is correct just press Y and then Enter.<\/p>\n<p>This is the output that you should get, for our new user called &#8220;newuser&#8221;:<\/p>\n<pre>Adding user `newuser' ...\r\nAdding new group `newuser' (1000) ...\r\nAdding new user `newuser' (1000) with group `newuser' ...\r\nCreating home directory `\/home\/newuser' ...\r\nCopying files from `\/etc\/skel' ...\r\nEnter new UNIX password:\r\nRetype new UNIX password:\r\npasswd: password updated successfully\r\nChanging the user information for newuser\r\nEnter the new value, or press ENTER for the default\r\nFull Name []:\r\nRoom Number []:\r\nWork Phone []:\r\nHome Phone []:\r\nOther []:\r\nIs the information correct? [Y\/n] Y<\/pre>\n<p>With this, a new user and group named &#8220;newuser&#8221; have been successfully created. Its home directory has also been created at the following location on your server: \/home\/newuser<\/p>\n<p>You can now log in as the &#8220;newuser&#8221; user to your server using the password you have set up.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Add-User-to-the-sudo-Group-on-Debian-9\"><\/span>Add User to the sudo Group on Debian 9<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We will now show you ho to allow this new user you have just created, to execute commands as the superuser or another system user. To achieve this, you will need to add the user to the sudo group. All members of this group have sudo privileges.<br \/>\nBy default, all new users are only added to their own group during the initial user creating. To add our &#8220;newuser&#8221; user to the sudo group, you need to run the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>usermod -aG sudo newuser<\/pre>\n<p>You can also verify if our user is now a member of the sudo group , with the\u00a0<strong>groups<\/strong> commands:<\/p>\n<pre>groups newuser<\/pre>\n<p>You should get the following output, showing that &#8220;newuser&#8221; is a member of both newuser and the sudo group:<\/p>\n<pre>newuser : newuser sudo<\/pre>\n<p>You can now switch to this user with the\u00a0<strong>su<\/strong> command:<\/p>\n<pre>su newuser<\/pre>\n<p>and try to run commands with administrative privileges by using the\u00a0<strong>sudo<\/strong> command. For example, a normal user does not have the privileges to run the commands necessary for upgrading all the system software on the server to the latest version:<\/p>\n<pre>apt-get update &amp;&amp; sudo apt-get upgrade<\/pre>\n<p>If you try to run these commands normally, while logged in as the &#8220;newuser&#8221; user you will get the following output:<\/p>\n<pre>Reading package lists... Done\r\nW: chmod 0700 of directory \/var\/lib\/apt\/lists\/partial failed - SetupAPTPartialDirectory (1: Operation not permitted)\r\nE: Could not open lock file \/var\/lib\/apt\/lists\/lock - open (13: Permission denied)\r\nE: Unable to lock directory \/var\/lib\/apt\/lists\/<\/pre>\n<p>But since our user is added to the sudo group, we can use the\u00a0<strong>sudo<\/strong> command to successfully update our system:<\/p>\n<pre>sudo apt-get update &amp;&amp; sudo apt-get upgrade<\/pre>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delete-a-User-on-Debian-9\"><\/span>Delete a User on Debian 9<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you no longer need the user we have created, we can delete it with the\u00a0<strong>deluser<\/strong> command.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say we want to delete the user \u201cnewuser\u201d. You can run the following command to do this:<\/p>\n<pre>deluser newuser<\/pre>\n<p>However, this will not delete the user\u2019s home directory. If you want to delete the user\u2019s home directory as well, you should run the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>deluser --remove-home newuser<\/pre>\n<p>The user is now completely removed from our system.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>This is all you need to know when it comes to creating and deleting a user on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/debian-hosting.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Debian 9<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you don\u2019t have to create and delete users on Debian 9, if you use one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/vps-hosting.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">managed VPS Hosting<\/a> services, in which case you can simply ask our expert Linux admins to help you create a new or delete an existing user on Debian 9.
