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.

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