Accounts

Usage

First, you have to declare your ssh_keys, users and usergroups hashes:

class { 'accounts':
  ssh_keys   => lookup('accounts::ssh_keys', Hash, 'hash', {}),
  users      => lookup('accounts::users', Hash, 'hash', {}),
  usergroups => lookup('accounts::usergroups', 'Hash, 'hash', {}),
}

Example hiera YAML file:

---
accounts::ssh_keys:
  foo:
    type: ssh-rsa
    public: FOO-S-RSA-PUBLIC-KEY
  bar:
    type: ssh-rsa
    public: BAR-S-RSA-PUBLIC-KEY

accounts::users:
  foo:
    uid: 1000
    comment: Foo
  bar:
    uid: 1001
    comment: Bar
  baz:
    # Remove user baz from every node (unless overridden)
    ensure: absent
  qux:
    uid: 1003
    comment: Qux

accounts::usergroups:
  foo:
    - foo
    - bar
  bar:
    - baz
    - qux

Then you can create accounts on your node with the accounts::account defined type.

accounts::account { 'foo': }

Creates a foo user if it exists in $::accounts::users and at allow its public key if it exists in $::accounts::ssh_keys.

accounts::account { 'bar':
  authorized_keys => ['@foo', 'baz'],
}

Creates a bar user if it exists in $::accounts::users and at allow its public key, everyone's in thefoo usergroup's public key and baz's one if it exists in $::accounts::ssh_keys.

accounts::account { '@foo': }

Create a user for every user in foo usergroup and allow its public key.

Module Parameters

groups

Hash of groups to create (passed to create_resources). Defaults to {}.

groups_membership

Default value for the users' membership parameter. Refer to the Puppet documentation for more information.

ssh_keys

Hash of SSH public keys that can be assigned to users (see Usage above).

users

Hash of users (see Usage above).

usergroups

Hash of user groups (see Usage above).

accounts

Hash of accounts to create (see Usage above).

forcelocal

Set the resource "user" parameter so that the users are not created/supressed in external user directories (i.e. LDAP).

start_uid

Sets the lowest uid for non system users. This is a system setting and also affects users created outside of this module.

start_gid

Sets the lowest gid for non system groups. This is a system setting and also affects groups or users created outside of this module.

purge_ssh_keys

Default value for users' purge_ssh_keys parameter. When true all SSH keys in a users authorized_keys file not managed by Puppet will be deleted. Defaults to false.

shell
