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 Lock the user account. The user won't be able to log in. -u,--unlock Unlock the user account. -Z,--selinux-user SELINUX_USER The SELinux user for the user's login. -h,--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. SEE ALSO
sss_groupadd(8), sss_groupdel(8), sss_groupmod(8), sss_groupshow(8), sss_useradd(8), sss_userdel(8). AUTHORS
