What is the role of Users and Groups in System 7?

The Users and Groups control panel lets you identify the names and
passwords of users with whom you want to share specific folders or
applications. With this, you can also set certain abilities regarding
whether or not the user can connect to shared resources, or whether they
change their connection password. User Setup also lets you create group
icons and put multiple users into these groups.

How to Create a User
--------------------
Follow these steps:

1) Open your Control Panels folder.

2) Open the Users & Groups control panel.

3) Select New User from the File menu.

4) Type the name of the new user and press the Return key.
