== Setup ==
Kuser usually is not installed by default, so it has to be installed manually. KUser is part of the '''kdeadmin'''-package.
Once installed you can find it under K-Menu -> System -> KUser, or start it with KRunner (Alt+F2) typing 'kuser'.
== Using KUser ==
After starting KUser a window opens containing two tabs: '''Users''' and '''Groups'''.
