When new group members join, they'll need access to our file and program server on both Windows and Linux, and a few odds and ends. Here's how to get that done the right way.
FIRST: Have the user decide on a username and password that they will re-enter continuously during this process. They will be denoted as new_username and new_password throughout this set of instructions.
Linux
- Log in to the cluster head node, either via SSH or at the machine.
- Add the user account:
sudo useradd -g bionmr -m -s /bin/bash new_username
Windows
Creating the account
- Log in to the user's workstation on an existing account, and use the Control Panel to create a new Administrator account.
- Add a password to the newly created account. Make sure the user can remember their password.
- Log out and back into the new account.
