User Management

Tiger City IMX Industrial Computer with Linux OS

The default user in Tiger is the only one available after the first boot.

In order to list all existing users in the system use the following command:

awk -F':' '{print $1}' /etc/passwd

To add a new user and create a home directory for it use the following command:

sudo useradd -m user_name

To verify that the user was created and view the user’s details use:

sudo id user_name

To set a new password for the user use the following command:

sudo passwd user_name

After that, logging in as a new user will be possible. The current user can be checked with the "whoami" command.

A user and its home directory can be deleted with the following command:

sudo userdel -r user_name
