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}}

Then add the supplied public key to that user's <code>.ssh/authorized_keys</code> file as described in [[ssh keys]] and linked pages.
Then add the person's public key to the <code>/home/$USER/.ssh/authorized_keys</code> file as described in [[Ssh keys|SSH keys]] and linked pages.
