Managing Users

The Users WebYaST module allows you to manage local non-system users. You can view the list of users, edit them, or add new users.

To view the list of users, edit or delete users, follow these steps:

  1. The list of local non-system users is shown. For each user, its user name and full name is shown. You can limit the users shown in the list by entering a string in Filter.

  2. Click any user in the list to view detailed information.

    In the Login Settings tab, you can view and edit user's Full Name and Login Name. You can also edit the user's Password. The new password must be confirmed in Confirm Password.

    In the Groups tab, you can view and edit Groups and the Default Group the selected user belongs to. You can edit groups manually or select them using the Manage Groups and Select Default Group buttons.

    In the Advanced tab, you can view and edit user's Home Directory, Login Shell, and UID Number.

    In the Roles tab, you can manage user's roles. Click the Manage Roles button and click individual roles to move them between Selected Roles (active) and Available Roles (inactive).

  3. To save the changes, click Save. To delete the selected user, click Delete.

To create a new user click New User.

Using the Manage Groups link, you can access the Groups WebYaST module directly.
