9. User and Group Management

• User and group management in Linux forms a key aspect of system administration. It involves creating, deleting, and configuring user and group accounts. User management is critical for controlling access to a system's resources, ensuring only authorized individuals have access. Group management allows grouping users together for shared access rights to files and directories. Together they help secure the system, optimize resource allocation, and facilitate collaborative operations.
