sss_usermod
SSS_USERMOD(8) SSSD Manual pages SSS_USERMOD(8)
NAME
sss_usermod - modify a user account
SYNOPSIS
sss_usermod [options] LOGIN
DESCRIPTION
sss_usermod modifies the account specified by LOGIN to reflect the changes that are specified on the command line.
OPTIONS
-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.
-s,--shell SHELL
The user's login shell.
-a,--append-group GROUPS
Append this user to groups specified by the GROUPS parameter. The GROUPS parameter is a comma separated list of group names.
-r,--remove-group GROUPS
Remove this user from groups specified by the GROUPS parameter.
-l,--lock

-u,--unlock
Unlock the user account.

-h,--help

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.
