Assignment: Setting Up “Helios” Project
Environment
1. User & Group Management
Created three groups: developers, qa_team, and deployment.
Created user accounts for each group with proper primary group
assignment:
o Developers: dev1, dev2
o QA team: qa1, qa2
o Deployment: dep1
Added dev1 to the deployment group as a secondary group
because dev1 assists deployments.
Command Used :
sudo groupadd developers
sudo groupadd qa_team
sudo groupadd deployment
sudo useradd -m -g developers dev1
sudo useradd -m -g developers dev2
sudo useradd -m -g qa_team qa1
sudo useradd -m -g qa_team qa2
sudo useradd -m -g deployment dep1
sudo usermod -aG deployment dev1

Q: Why we use setgid bit for src Directory?
Ans : I used the setgid bit on the “src” folder so that whenever
someone creates a new file or folder inside, it automatically
belongs to the developers group.
