9.3 Summary
As a multi-user operating system, Fedora 31 has been designed to support controlled access for multiple users. During installation, the root user account was created and assigned a password and the option to create a user account was also provided. Additional user accounts may be added to the system using a set of command-line tools or via the Cockpit web interface. In addition to user accounts, Linux also implements the concept of groups. New groups can be added and users assigned to those groups using command-line tools and each user must belong to at least one group. By default a standard, non-root user does not have permission to perform privileged tasks. Users that are members of the special wheel group, however, may perform privileged tasks by making use of the sudo command.
