Linux Crash Course - Managing Groups

Man, thanks a lot. I'm a beginner in this world. Your videos are incredible, good and concise info.

I've been using your videos for the past six months and I have legit learned SO MUCH. I had vague ideas about a lot of this stuff beforehand but every single one of your videos has helped me actually learn this stuff instead of just, i don't know, following a text tutorial and not really retain anything. I really feel like I owe you something at this point so when I get some cash next month I am going to join the channel or buy some merch. Anyway, my current home lab for Linux "work" is spread across four pcs (two desktop and two laptop), a Debian WSL install on my main win10 machine, and a VM install on another win10 machine. Your videos have helped me manage all this quite well. THANK YOU for your work and these videos are making a HUGE difference out here in the wild. Bless you, Jay.

to the point. Well maintained voice and pace to present the content. Your videos are the example of what knowledge sharing should look like. Thank you Sir

I watched many of these videos and took notes of them, I never knew there were articles with commands somewhere 0__0

Great video as always

Thank you so much for this amazing FOSS content!

Thank you for these fantastic and wonderful videos, but please, how does someone follow your videos or playlist? It seems like all your videos are just everywhere. I am learning Linux for the first time, but it is hard to follow your videos step by step. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. From beginner to power user, please tell me or give links to follow. Please, anyone, feel free to point in a direction. Thank you all in advance

I've usually just gone into /etc/groups and modifies th line to add or remove users.

can i edit users by editing gropus file?

Love all your videos sir. Always clear and understandable. Thank you.

Thanks! I'm not IT but I enjoy your vids very much!

Thanks Jay, is this group will have permission?

Good. I have a question though. In File Permissions we have user:group:others. Can you make the correspondance between these file permissions and primary vs secondary groups. For example primary group, is it really the group part in a file permission. If so, what about secondary groups are they others? Or do both primary and secondary groups belong to group part in file permissions?

Thanks Jay for this video!

Another nice video 👌

How do I add jellyfin to access my video files

thanks for the video, you are amazing

thanks man for the content. it is very helpful

Thanks very much....

Good info, but how are the groups managed? For example the current situation that brought me here is I can't remote desktop into my raspberry pi unless I remove the user from the "video" and the "render" groups. I am trying to figure out why and where those groups permissions are defined? If I could look under the hood and see what those two groups are actually doing then maybe I could just fix the permissions instead of having to remove the users from those groups.

Very helpful, especially the "allowgroups for ssh users" tidbit. Never would have crossed my mind. This just convinced me to buy your ubuntu server book. God bless you.

thank you :) nice video

but if you have a folder that you want several groups to have access to

In 4K. Nice

In University for Network Admin. Your videos should be part of the curriculum.

Best tutorials on the web!

I am terrible at remembering command options, so I have always edited the passwd and group files manually.

thank you.

thank you.

Great Video Thank You :-)

👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Jay!

after reading your ubuntu 3rd edition i thought i would watch this video aswell. both explain it perfectly - keep up the good work and thanks for all your content.

Very good content thanks for your time to explain it

Thanks for the video it was good review for me and I learned new command which is gpasswd

Perhaps for more users OpenLDAP or KeyCloak would be better?

thanks Jay ,,, really your vids is very helpful 😀👍🙂🤍🤍🤍

Nice! Love the user names. I do think you need to add Skully (<-- Spelling ?)... Lol
I had to do this yesterday on my MX box, I needed to be added to a group and I had to look up how to do it.
Been a long time since I had to do that... Lol
Thanks for the video series Jay!
LLAP

Thanks Jay.

great job as always.

Can you make a deep dive tutorial (series?) for switching Desktop Environments and Display Managers?

I've seen people switch gdm3 to lightdm in Pop!_OS and using lightdm-webkit2-greeter with Aether theme and so on,
but when I try to do it following those videos, my Pop!_OS crashes (lightdm wont start, had to use timeshift from command line to revert back to earlier situation).

very helpful content.thanks a lot
