Abstract
We establish the representability of the general linear ${\mathbb Z}_2^n$-group and use the restricted functor of points – whose test category is the category of ${\mathbb Z}_2^n$-manifolds over a single topological point – to define its smooth linear actions on ${\mathbb Z}_2^n$-graded vector spaces and linear ${\mathbb Z}_2^n$-manifolds. Throughout the paper, particular emphasis is placed on the full faithfulness and target category of the restricted functor of points of a number of categories that we are using.

Key words: supergeometry; ringed spaces; functors of points; linear group actions.
