useradd: Create a new user belonging to additional groups (mind the lack of whitespace).

useradd

$ sudo useradd --groups ${group1,group2,---} ${username}

try on your machine

This command is used to create a new user and add them to one or more existing groups on a Unix-like system. Let's break down the command:

sudo: This is a command that grants administrative or superuser privileges to the user who executes it. It allows the user to perform actions that require elevated permissions.
useradd: This is the command used to create a new user account on the system.
--groups ${group1,group2,---}: This option specifies the groups to which the new user should be added. You can provide a comma-separated list of group names inside the curly braces (${ }) to specify multiple groups. Replace ${group1,group2,---} with the actual names of the groups you want to add the user to.
${username}: This is the username for the new user. Replace ${username} with the desired username for the user you want to create.

By using this command, you can create a new user and assign them to one or more groups to manage their access permissions and privileges on the system.
