This article is about how to add a user to a group. The instructions will work well on most Linux distros, including Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, Linux Mint, etc.
Adding users to groups on Linux is an easy task, if you know what commands to use. You can essentially do everything using just one command, as long as you know how to use it. The gpasswd command is the simplest command to use for the task. The useradd or usermod commands can be used as well, but they have a comparatively more complex syntax, and therefore not recommended for beginners.
