SSS_USERADD(8)		       SSSD Manual pages		SSS_USERADD(8)

NAME
       sss_useradd - create a new user

SYNOPSIS
       sss_useradd [options] LOGIN

DESCRIPTION
       sss_useradd creates a new user account using the values specified on
       the command line plus the default values from the system.

OPTIONS
       -u,--uid UID
	   Set the UID of the user to the value of UID. If not given, it is
	   chosen automatically.

       -c,--gecos COMMENT
	   Any text string describing the user. Often used as the field for
	   the user's full name.

       -h,--home HOME_DIR
	   The home directory of the user account. The default is to append
	   the LOGIN name to /home and use that as the home directory. The
	   base that is prepended before LOGIN is tunable with
	   “user_defaults/baseDirectory” setting in sssd.conf.

       -s,--shell SHELL
	   The user's login shell. The default is currently /bin/bash. The
	   default can be changed with “user_defaults/defaultShell” setting in
	   sssd.conf.

       -G,--groups GROUPS
	   A list of existing groups this user is also a member of.

       -m,--create-home
	   Create the user's home directory if it does not exist. The files
	   and directories contained in the skeleton directory (which can be
	   defined with the -k option or in the config file) will be copied to
	   the home directory.

       -M,--no-create-home
	   Do not create the user's home directory. Overrides configuration
	   settings.

       -k,--skel SKELDIR
	   The skeleton directory, which contains files and directories to be
	   copied in the user's home directory, when the home directory is
	   created by sss_useradd.

	   This option is only valid if the -m (or --create-home) option is
	   specified, or creation of home directories is set to TRUE in the
	   configuration.

       -Z,--selinux-user SELINUX_USER
	   The SELinux user for the user's login. If not specified, the system
	   default will be used.

       -?,--help
	   Display help message and exit.

THE LOCAL DOMAIN
       In order to function correctly, a domain with “id_provider=local” must
       be created and the SSSD must be running.

       The administrator might want to use the SSSD local users instead of
       traditional UNIX users in cases where the group nesting (see
       sss_groupadd(8)) is needed. The local users are also useful for testing
       and development of the SSSD without having to deploy a full remote
       server. The sss_user* and sss_group* tools use a local LDB storage to
       store users and groups.
