Adding Accounts

OS

If you need to add a new OS user account, you can use the adduser command. For example, to add a new account called tom:

sudo adduser tom

We recommend creating usernames in lower case for consistency.

For more information, please see the adduser manual by typing man adduser.

SOC

If you need to add a new account to Security Onion Console (SOC), navigate to the Administration interface, click Users, and then click the + icon. Fill out the necessary information and then click the ADD button.
