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 <code>sudo adduser USERNAME</code>. Then add the supplied public key to that users <code>.ssh/authorized_keys</code> file as described in [[ssh keys]] and linked pages.

Another alternative would be to do this during the creation of your VM using [http://cloudinit.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html# CloudInit]. The following example CloudInit YAML script (see [http://www.yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#Preview YAML Preview]):

adds two users <code>sysadmin</code> and <code>user</code> with and without sudo permissions respectively. The <code><Insert public key></code> must be replaced with the public key to use for that user. After the VM has finished spawning, take a look at the log to ensure that the public keys have been added correctly for those users. The log should show something like:
