I am currently using Ubuntu 17.10 and I am looking for a way to disable the ability to create any more users on my system. I have several people who use this computer, but I would like for them to only use this "user". Is there any way to do this?

Don't give them administrative privileges.

Or if they need sudo / admin access configure sudo to give access to only what they need and do not allow them to create new users.
