Hi,

A good tutorial for new users; How to Add User to Group in Linux

Quote:

This tutorial will show you how to add user to a group in Linux systems.Linux groups are organization units which are used to organize and administer user accounts in Linux. The main purpose of groups is to define a set of privileges such as reading, writing, or executing permission for a given resource that can be shared among the users within the group.In Linux, to add a user to a group you can use the usermod command. You will need to be logged in as root or as a user with sudo access to be able to execute the command.

Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!

Hi

You can simply run command:
#usermod -a -G <group> <user-name>

You have a typo, it should be 'usermod'. And notice that usermod without -a overwrites current group information https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...ser_management
