Onboard One Linux Practice User

Introduction

A new team member needs a normal local account before using a shared development area. The account should have a home directory, a Bash login shell, and membership in the existing developers group.

The preceding guided lab practiced this exact account-creation and supplementary-group workflow. This challenge applies it to one user only.

Onboard the User

Current Situation

The supplementary group developers already exists. The user trainee does not exist yet.

Scope

Create the user trainee with its matching private group.
Create /home/trainee.
Use /bin/bash as the login shell.
Add trainee to the existing developers group.
Do not change the labex account.

Your Goal

Leave one usable trainee account with a home directory, a Bash shell, and supplementary access through developers.

Acceptance Criteria

trainee exists and its primary group is trainee.
/home/trainee exists and belongs to trainee:trainee.
The login shell is /bin/bash.
id trainee includes developers.

Hints

Which creation pattern did the guided lab use?

Review the useradd example that created a home, a matching private group, and selected Bash. Then use the supplementary-group command from the next step.

Summary

You onboarded one Linux user with the same account and group-management commands introduced in the guided lab.
