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

Tip

We recommend creating OS usernames in lower case for consistency.

For more information about adding OS user accounts, 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, and then click Users.
