I have CentOS 7 installed with GUI (Gnome 3.8.4) and I'm trying to follow the guide at https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/htm...
it speaks of "System > Administration" from the GUI or "system-config-users" from the command line, but I can't find either? I don't have a "System" top menu, only "Applications" and "Places", and when I try the command line option I get "command not found".
any ideas? TIA!

Thanks Earl, but I'm trying to follow the tutorial/guide.
Any ideas why it's different from what I see? I'm new to Linux/CentOS and if this basic feature strays so much from the guide then I would expect many more discrepancies.
This is all very discouraging...

My guess would be that the document has not been updated for Gnome 3.x. What it describes is the way Gnome 2.x worked.

If you don't care to start GUI from command line and are happy just using command line tools, you can use
/usr/sbin/groupadd /usr/sbin/useradd ...
which still are available on CentOS 7.

True, but as per my original thread which was hijacked -- my primary goal here is to find valid documentation that works.
Learning a new OS is as complex as putting together a huge puzzle. The problem is that with all of the differing parts that makes Linux work, and all of the different versions that are not backward compatible -- it's like being given the pieces of 10 puzzles all mixed up, and now having to figure out which pieces belong in your puzzle in addition to finding their placement.

If possible, please don't top post. In line posting, with proper trimming, is the best way to go, especiallyh on a list like this.

Personally, I've always found RedHat documentation to be of rather low quality, at least for my needs.
At this point in time, you might try looking at Fedora documentation, which has been using the CentOS 7 style of GUI for awhile now. Probably any documentation for Fedora 18 and up will be applicable.
Everyone learns in different ways, so what holds true for me may not be so for you. Anyway, some of the Fedora documenation is good--if you find it lacking, you'll find that at least some of their documentation folk are very receptive to reader input.

fair enough

I've reached a similar conclusion a few days ago, and so I bought the book http://smile.amazon.com/Practical-Guide-Fedora-Enterprise-Linux/dp/013347743... but unfortunately it, too, refers to commands that I don't have like system-config-services

I don't have CentOS 7 installed here, so can't check.
It's frustrating, I'm sure. You're right. I was surprised at that myself.
While it's little consolation, all I can say at this point is that soon there will probably be some reasonably good documentation out.
resolved: I've installed the User Management Tool, as well as other system-config tools by executing the following command as administrator:
# yum -y install system-config-*
