I'm donating an older computer to a family for the kids to do zoom schooling.
I could use some help setting up a limited account for each child.
MX has a handy User Manager tool, but I'm not sure how to make the most of it.
Obviously uncheck sudo in Group Membership; so many other settings I don't understand.
Any help would be much appreciated. TIA.

How to set up a limited user account
Re: How to set up a limited user account
the Normal User Account is somewhat limited, anyway,
and if those New users are Not able to sudo anything,
and you have the only access to both your sudo account & the root account,
then there should be limited stuff that they can do with the machine.

See https://wiki.debian.org/SystemGroups for an explanation of the various system groups to assist you in deciding which ones you can safely remove the children's membership to.
