Thanks,
Nodir.

Thats all there are, users and root. Users can be added to groups to get more or less access but thats the only accounts there are.

Users added to the admin accout can use sudo and gksudo for example, users in the cdrom group can access the optical drives in a system etc.

I meant users. How can I get full information about them? I need the list of all user accounts, their privileges by typing Linux command.

you can run:

sudo -i; cat /etc/passwd | less

to see all the user accounts, most are system accounts and not actually used. if you want to see what groups a user is in you can run:

groups <username>

e.g.

groups foo

will output the groups the user 'foo' is in.

Can you help with this problem?
