User Privileges

Debian Gnome

User Privileges

User privileges determine what each user is able to do when using the computer. For example, in some situations users may be able to connect to the internet and configure printers. In other situations, these things are done by the system administrator, and ordinary users do not have those privileges.

View or Modify User Privileges

To view or modify user privileges, open Users and Groups. It is in the menu under System -> Administration -> Users and Groups. You need to enter the root password.

Click on the user's name.

Click "Properties."

Click on the tab, "User privileges."

You will see the user's privileges.

To change privileges, click in the square preceeding any items you want to change, to add or remove the tick from the square.

When set as required, click "OK."

You may change the privileges of another user, or click "Close."
