    groupadd will create a user group for you.

    Its syntax is: groupadd toto

    This command will create the group toto. To verify that this is the case, check if this group has been listed in the file /etc/group with this command:
    cat /etc/group | grep toto

    You should normally see the group as well as the users in it (none for now)

    To add a user to a group, the simplest solution will be to add their name at the end of this line, separated by semicolons if you have multiple.

    Otherwise, you can use the usermod command to modify a user's groups

    Hello.
    Check the manual for these commands:
    man groupadd
    man useradd
    Some distributions offer graphical environments for this.
    Good luck.
