We are going to create a group called grupoDevCodeLight. To do this, we will use groupadd as shown below:
sudo groupadd grupoDevCodeLight
If prompted, enter the administrator (root) password. Now, we will verify that the group has been created successfully using the following command:
sudo cat /etc/group
At the end, grupoDevCodeLight should appear as one of the groups.
Now, to add a user to this group, we will use usermod and add the group to the user using the -aG option, as indicated in the manual:
sudo usermod -aG grupoDevCodeLight DevCodeLight
Finally, we will check again for all created groups. In this case, the user DevCodeLight will appear as a member of the grupoDevCodeLight group, as we can see in the image.
