# usermod
> Modifies a user account.
- Change a user's name:
`usermod -l {{newname}} {{user}}`
- Add user to supplementary groups (mind the whitespace):
`usermod -a -G {{group1,group2}} {{user}}`
- Create a new home directory for a user and move their files to it:
`usermod -m -d {{/path/to/home}} {{user}}`
