It sounds like you are trying to add users that have the ability for remote login, in Mac OS X El Capitan. The following Knowledge Base articles offer up some great information:
OS X El Capitan: Set up users on your Mac
OS X El Capitan: Allow a remote computer to access your Mac
Set up Remote Login
-
On your Mac, open Sharing preferences if it isn’t already open (choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Sharing).
-
Select Remote Login.
Selecting Remote Login also enables the secure FTP (sftp) service.
-
Specify which users can log in:
-
All users: Any of your computer’s users and anyone on your network can log in.
-
Log in from another computer
To log in from another computer, open Terminal (or another SSH app) on that computer, then type:
ssh username@IP address
For example, if your user name is steve, and your computer’s IP address is 10.1.2.3, open Terminal on the other Mac and type:
ssh steve@10.1.2.3
Don’t know your user name and the IP address for your Mac? It’s easy to find them. Open the Remote Login pane of Sharing preferences; your user name and IP address are shown below the “Remote Login: On” indicator.
Allowing remote login to your Mac can make it less secure. For more information about keeping your Mac secure, see Protect your Mac.
For more information about using the ssh command, type “man ssh” at a Terminal shell prompt.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Kind Regards.
