There are a number of ways to approach this, but basically what is needed is to add another public ssh key to the VM (see [[ssh keys]] about working with and creating keys). This could be done by adding to the <code>authorized_keys</code> of the primary user account provided for the VM, usually named after the operating system, or it could be added to a newly created user account. In Ubuntu, when logged in with the primary user's account this can be accomplished with the command {{Command|sudo adduser USERNAME}}
==Creating an account and keys==
Then add the supplied public key to that user's <code>.ssh/authorized_keys</code> file as described in [[ssh keys]] and linked pages.
A new user account can be created on Ubuntu with the command {{Command|sudo adduser --disabled-password USERNAME}} To be able to connect, the new user will need to have a key pair, see [[Generating_SSH_keys_in_Windows|generating SSH keys in windows]] or [[Using_SSH_keys_in_Linux#Creating a Key Pair|creating a key pair in Linux or Mac]] depending on the operating system they will be connecting from. Then their public key must be added to <code>/home/USERNAME/.ssh/authorized_keys</code> on the VM, ensuring permissions and ownership are correct as described in steps 2 and 3 of [[Using_SSH_keys_in_Linux#Connecting using a Key Pair|connecting using a key pair]].

Creating an account and keys

A new user account can be created on Ubuntu with the command

[name@server ~]$ sudo adduser --disabled-password USERNAME

To be able to connect, the new user will need to have a key pair, see generating SSH keys in windows or creating a key pair in Linux or Mac depending on the operating system they will be connecting from. Then their public key must be added to /home/USERNAME/.ssh/authorized_keys on the VM, ensuring permissions and ownership are correct as described in steps 2 and 3 of connecting using a key pair.
