# User Management {#sec-user-management}
|
||||
|
||||
NixOS supports both declarative and imperative styles of user
|
||||
management. In the declarative style, users are specified in
|
||||
`configuration.nix`. For instance, the following states that a user
|
||||
account named `alice` shall exist:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
users.users.alice = {
|
||||
isNormalUser = true;
|
||||
home = "/home/alice";
|
||||
description = "Alice Foobar";
|
||||
extraGroups = [ "wheel" "networkmanager" ];
|
||||
openssh.authorizedKeys.keys = [ "ssh-dss AAAAB3Nza... alice@foobar" ];
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note that `alice` is a member of the `wheel` and `networkmanager`
|
||||
groups, which allows her to use `sudo` to execute commands as `root` and
|
||||
to configure the network, respectively. Also note the SSH public key
|
||||
that allows remote logins with the corresponding private key. Users
|
||||
created in this way do not have a password by default, so they cannot
|
||||
log in via mechanisms that require a password. However, you can use the
|
||||
`passwd` program to set a password, which is retained across invocations
|
||||
of `nixos-rebuild`.
|
||||
|
||||
If you set [`users.mutableUsers`](options.html#opt-users.mutableUsers) to
|
||||
false, then the contents of `/etc/passwd` and `/etc/group` will be congruent
|
||||
to your NixOS configuration. For instance, if you remove a user from
|
||||
[`users.users`](options.html#opt-users.users) and run nixos-rebuild, the user
|
||||
account will cease to exist. Also, imperative commands for managing users and
|
||||
groups, such as useradd, are no longer available. Passwords may still be
|
||||
assigned by setting the user\'s
|
||||
[hashedPassword](#opt-users.users._name_.hashedPassword) option. A
|
||||
hashed password can be generated using `mkpasswd -m
|
||||
sha-512`.
|
||||
|
||||
A user ID (uid) is assigned automatically. You can also specify a uid
|
||||
manually by adding
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
uid = 1000;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
to the user specification.
|
||||
|
||||
Groups can be specified similarly. The following states that a group
|
||||
named `students` shall exist:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
users.groups.students.gid = 1000;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
As with users, the group ID (gid) is optional and will be assigned
|
||||
automatically if it's missing.
|
||||
|
||||
In the imperative style, users and groups are managed by commands such
|
||||
as `useradd`, `groupmod` and so on. For instance, to create a user
|
||||
account named `alice`:
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
# useradd -m alice
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To make all nix tools available to this new user use \`su - USER\` which
|
||||
opens a login shell (==shell that loads the profile) for given user.
|
||||
This will create the \~/.nix-defexpr symlink. So run:
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
# su - alice -c "true"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The flag `-m` causes the creation of a home directory for the new user,
|
||||
which is generally what you want. The user does not have an initial
|
||||
password and therefore cannot log in. A password can be set using the
|
||||
`passwd` utility:
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
# passwd alice
|
||||
Enter new UNIX password: ***
|
||||
Retype new UNIX password: ***
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A user can be deleted using `userdel`:
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
# userdel -r alice
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The flag `-r` deletes the user's home directory. Accounts can be
|
||||
modified using `usermod`. Unix groups can be managed using `groupadd`,
|
||||
`groupmod` and `groupdel`.
