Users are assigned to groups, which allow them rights to read or edit files, run commands or apply infrastructural
changes. For chopchop, we all have 'sudo rights': the ability to perform any command, including the more sensitive
ones. Sudo is a command that's short for 'superuser do', with it, a user has more privileges, like installing or

Users can login to the server using the SSH (secure shell) protocol. This allows a user to explore files,
make changes, run commands and speak to the server from their own machine. This is useful when working
remotely, and also to allow multiple users logging into the server simultaneously. There are chopchop users
for current XPUB1 studends, as well as for their tutors. Additionally, there are some users not associated with a
person, like our shared user 'chipchip' and users for running specific processes or creating projects.

Usernames are often not the real names of the users, but often pseudonymns. This creates a sense of customization to your experience. In bigger groups this might also result in anonimity, which can be (un)desirable and potentially confusing.
