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]]. | 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.
