Creating and Managing User Accounts and Groups

After you have installed the Oracle Solaris operating system and connected your installed system to the network, you are ready to set up some essential functions on your system. You might choose to start by setting up user accounts and user groups on your system.


Note -  If you are not familiar with Oracle Solaris user management, see What Are User Accounts and Groups? in Managing User Accounts and User Environments in Oracle Solaris 11.3.

Start by creating any user accounts that you need and apply security attributes for each user. You can customize the users' work environments by modifying the user initialization files. You can also create group accounts and control the security settings for your groups. You can use either command-line tools or the User Manager GUI to perform these tasks.

User management procedures are documented in Managing User Accounts and User Environments in Oracle Solaris 11.3.
