Difference between /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin and /usr/sbin

/bin contains all the essential binaries file that can be execute by local and other users
/sbin contains system files like useradd that can be exeute by root
local user has to use sudo to run these
/usr/bin , /usr/sbin contains non essential binaries e.g. office tools etc
these are parted to minimize size of root
