# Create a new user

Linux is a multi-user system:

This means that more than one person can interact with the same system at the same time. As a system administrator, you have the responsibility to manage the system’s users and groups by creating and removing users and assign them to different groups.

#### Create new user in Q Blocks instance:

We have created a one step easy process for you to create new users in your instance.

To create new user and setup its profile with right permissions, execute this command:

```bash
wget -qO - 'https://www.qblocks.cloud/resources/add-new-user.sh' --no-check-certificate | bash -s USERNAME PASSWORD
```

* *Make sure to replace <mark style="color:red;">USERNAME</mark> and <mark style="color:red;">PASSWORD</mark> in the above command with your desired values*

The above command would do the following tasks:

1. Create a new user for you with your desired username and password
2. Grant the SSH access to the new user

**Note:**

If you don't want to use the above mentioned script then you can manually create a new user by running the standard bash commands for adding user in Linux. In this case, to grant SSH access to your new user you will have to add the <mark style="color:yellow;">AllowUser</mark> setting in SSH config. The SSH access would otherwise be restricted as a security measure to stop any unauthenticated access.

If you still face issues setting it up then don't hesitate to reach out to us at: [support@qblocks.cloud](mailto:support@qblocks.cloud?subject=Unable%20to%20launch%20TensorBoard)
