How to Add an Existing User to a Group
To add an existing user to a secondary group, use the usermod -a -G
command followed the name of the group and the user:
sudo usermod -a -G groupname username
For example, to add the user linuxize
to the sudo
group, you would run the following command:
sudo usermod -a -G sudo linuxize
Always use the -a
(append) option when adding a user to a new group. If you omit the -a
option, the user will be removed from any groups not listed after the -G
option.
On success, the usermod
command does not display any output. It warns you only if the user or group doesn’t exist.
