Ubuntu Server - simple network and users configuration
Hello, I am new to Ubuntu Server.
Can you please suggest very simple configuration to network.

Need:

1. Ubuntu Server (already installed)
2. Connect to it 1 Linux Mint computer (already installed) + 1 computer with Windows 7 (already installed).

Need to create 3 groups with permissions:
1. AdminUsers(with full admin access).
2. SimpleUsers (with limited access and interdiction of applicatoin install on Linux Mint and Windows 7
3. AdvancedUsers (with moderated access: permissions to install apps)

Need to create users inside each of those groups (User: Adm1 inside AdminUsers group, user: Simple1 inside SimpleUseres group, user:Advus inside AdvancedUsers group).
Need to connect with specific user from Linux Mint and Windows 7.
Need to have redirected Desktop to specific folder on the Server (for SimpleUsers - they share same Desktop, for AdminUsers and AdvancedUsers - they have their own Desktop, but still under folders inside Server and not on their local machines.

I have reviewed the whole documentation of Ubuntu server and understand the global concept. But still, for the beginner, it is difficult to go and apply those simple configurations.

Can you please suggest me the steps of necessary configuration or refer to some simple documentation about it?

Thank you in advance!

groups(1)						      General Commands Manual							 groups(1)

NAME

       groups - Displays your group membership

SYNOPSIS

       groups [user]

DESCRIPTION

       The  groups command writes to standard output the groups to which you or the specified user belong.  The Tru64 UNIX operating system allows
       a user to belong to many different groups at the same time.

       Your primary group is specified in the /etc/passwd file. Once you are logged in, you can change your active group  with	the  newgrp  shell
       command (see sh). When you create a file, its group ID is that of your active group.

       Other groups that you belong to are specified in the /etc/group file.  If you belong to more than one group, you can access files belonging
       to any of those groups without changing your primary group ID.  These are called your concurrent groups.

NOTES

       The /etc/passwd and /etc/group files must be on the same node.

EXAMPLES

       To determine your group membership, enter: groups

       The groups to which you belong will be displayed.  For example: devel  prod

FILES

       Contains group information.  Contains user information.

SEE ALSO

       Commands:  csh(1), ksh(1), sh(1)

       Functions:  initgroups(3), setgroups(2)
