How to make a new profile?

Question

My mum dad and brother all use my computer, so I thought of making accounts but I am not sure how to make an account.

I want to make an account that has few privileges like a normal account, not administrator.

I am using trusty tahr 14.04

Thanks!

Answer 1

Load up a terminal or console window and use the following command:

sudo useradd <username>

That will create a basic user inside of ubuntu for you. When a user needs to use administrator rights it will prompt them.
