One person spins up the VPS, a second needs access so they get handed the root password, a contractor joins and gets it too, and within a year nobody can say who logged in last week or who still knows the password that protects everything. When something is deleted at 3 a.m., the audit trail is a single word: <code>root</code>. Proper user management is the cure, and on Linux it is neither hard nor optional — give every human their own account, grant privilege narrowly through <code>sudo</code>, and the question &quot;who did this?&quot; always has a real answer. This guide sets that up from a fresh server.</p>
