How to restrict user logins to SSH

Linux Basics

If we want to allow SSH login only to specific users, we need to edit the SSH configuration file.

nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

At the end of the file, we add the AllowUsers line and a space-separated list of usernames. For example, if we have users kate and dave and we want them both to have access to SSH.

AllowUsers kate dave

Restart the SSH service and now only the specified users will log in.
