NAME

usersetup - a tool that helps with user and group management

SYNOPSIS

usersetup

DESCRIPTION

usersetup is a tool that helps with the management of user accounts and group memberships. It uses a dialog interface to present the user with a menu that includes the following options:

Create a new account, which allows the creation of a new user account. Only information that needs to be provided is the username and password.

Create a new account (advanced mode), which allows the creation of a new user account, providing full information for that user, like full username, office, home and work phone numbers, home directory path, shell to be used, group membership and account expiry date.

Modify account properties, which can be used to modify account properties for existing users.

Change account password, which allows changing the password for a user account with a new one.

Delete accounts, which can be used to delete user accounts from the system. Home directories for those users and all the files they include will still remain.

List groups and memberships, which provides a list of all groups present in the system. By selecting a group, a list of users that are part of that group is displayed.

Create a new group, which can be used to create a new group.

Change group name, which allows changing the name of a group already present in the system.

Delete groups, which allows the deletion of a group from the system.

usersetup is part of the salixtools package.
