How to create a new user in Ubuntu?

Question

ubuntu

Hello. How can I create a new user in Ubuntu who would only have access to his home directory, for example /home/testuser, and cannot move up the directory?

Answer 1

Create - sudo adduser testuser. And then you can just give rights to your /home/ only to yourself through chmod 770 -R myuser:myuser /home/myuser. The owner can read, can write and execute. The group can read, write and perform. Others cannot read, cannot write, and cannot perform.

Answer 2

sudo adduser testuser
