## Budgie
|
||||
|
||||
To manage your own or other accounts, you first need to authenticate. Click the Unlock button in the top right corner and type your password. Note that you are required to be an administrator. If you're the only user on the system, then your account is an administrator by default.
|
||||
To add and remove users with Budgie, start by opening the Budgie Menu and then click on "Users" in the System Settings category.
|
||||
|
||||
In the event it is correct, the Unlock button will change to Lock and the Add / Remove buttons will be clickable.
