New PCLinuxOS Users

Creating new user accounts enables multiple people to take advantage of the PCLinuxOS desktop. First click on System --- Preferences --- Control Panel.

With the Control Center open scroll to the bottom of the list and select User Administration. Or use the filter field on the top right side. 

To access User Administration you may need to type in the root password. 

Once you've entered the root password you can use this window to add/delete/ or edit users and groups. Click on the Add User icon.

You will need to specify the name, login, password and login shell you would like this user to use. You can also choose the users home directory and an icon to represent the user.

When finished click OK. Now we can see user ktownsend has been added to our list of users.
