I recently made some new users in my digitalocean droplet, and I would like to access them directly with the command ssh username@ip. However, I get denied with username@ip: Permission denied (publickey). For clarification, the machine has the correct private-key and can access the droplet with ssh root@ip
I did the following to create the new user
root@school:~# adduser username
Adding user `username' ...
Adding new group `username' (1001) ...
Adding new user `username' (1001) with group `username' ...
Creating home directory `/home/username' ...
Copying files from `/etc/skel' ...
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
After these steps, what is further to do to be able to access the droplet with ssh username@ip ?

if available you could use the tool ssh-copy-id username@ip to copy the PUBLIC key to the authorized_key file from the user on the server

"the machine has the correct private-key"
That is the root cause of your misunderstanding. Access is controlled separately for each account, not for the machine as a whole.
For each account you want to access with a particular key you will need to append the associated public key to the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys in the home directory of that account.
Or in other words: copy /root/.ssh/authorized_keys to /home/username/.ssh/authorized_keys and ensure the correct ownership and permissions on those files/directories.

while true please note that you will copy the PUBLIC key, not the private key into the authorized_keys. Additionally copy might just overwrite and give too much access so be catious when doing a copy.
