Adding a user
To add a user you need to login as root or use sudo if you are one of the users allowed to use it. The simplest way to add a user is to use adduser script - if you type adduser USERNAME the script will ask you to select a password and to input some basic info about the user and then create the account.
IMPORTANT: if the user needs to use the GPU you need to add the user to the video group. This is done by adding his username to the video group list in the "/etc/group" file.
