Correct.

You can use the groupadd command.

With "Manager" I assume you mean the ThinLinc master? All the users have
to be found by the master AND on all agents they should be able to get
sessions on. We recommend using a shared user database for your
ThinLinc cluster. You should consider looking into LDAP for example.
