How do I add a user to Linode?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 1:11 pm

Adding a user to Linode is fairly simple. You can either use the web-based interface or the command line.

To add a user using the web-based interface, first sign in to your Linode account. Then click on the Users link in the main navigation bar.

The Users page will display a list of all of your account’s users. To add a new user, click on the Add User link next to the user you wish to add.

The Add User page will display the following form:

username: The username of the user you are adding.

password: The password of the user you are adding.

email: The email address of the user you are adding.

phone: The phone number of the user you are adding.

PRO TIP: Adding a user to your Linode requires root privileges. Once you have logged in as root, you can use the useradd command to add a new user. Be sure to replace USERNAME with the actual username you wish to add.

location: The location of the user you are adding.

Once you have filled out the form, click on the Create User button.

The user will be created and will be displayed in the Users list on the Linode website.

To add a user using the command line, first sign in to your Linode account. Then type the following command:

Linode user add username

where username is the username of the user you wish to add.

Once you have entered the username, you will be prompted to enter the password. After you have entered the password, you will be prompted to enter the email address of the user.

Next, you will be prompted to enter the phone number of the user.

Finally, you will be prompted to enter the location of the user.
