Opening full functional new users in Deepin

That is not how Linux works, so no you cannot do that because root has by definition access to everything! (sudo access = root = full disk access :exclamation: )

So please read this:

And especially pay attention to the tutorial linked inside that tutorial:

:crossed_fingers:

What you can do:

  • sudo access = access to everything
  • create a new group (E.G. family), add users to that group and give whatever disk access to a “group share” (Probably DATA DISK)
  • Don’t automount disks but add the disks to /etc/fstab instead. (you can still do a systemd automount)

E.G. That would:

  • give group family access to the DATA DISK, but still keep their own documents in their respective /home private
  • only give the actual admin(s) sudo access, protecting the system directories themselves and ensuring little your 7YO child from completely destroying your entire system by copy-pasting rm -rf / which his bully just sent him through Signal.
