Get started

What you'll learn

Linux powers the internet. If you’re a developer, you may not know it, but most of the applications you build and maintain actually run on some variant of Linux. Developers may get away with not knowing any Linux, but if you’re in operations or platform engineering, Linux will be at the heart of your career. In this course, Linux System Administration: User and Group Management, you'll rapidly get up to speed administrating local users and groups using Ubuntu Linux. First, you’ll create new local users and groups. Next, you’ll discover how to modify important account attributes. Finally, you’ll learn how to manage user passwords. By the end of this course, you'll have a better understanding of the fundamentals of local user management skills on Linux systems.
