NAME Setup::Unix::User - Ensure existence of Unix user and its group memberships VERSION version 0.01 SYNOPSIS use Setup::Unix::User 'setup_unix_user'; # simple usage (doesn't save undo data) my $res = setup_unix_user name => 'foo', members_of => ['admin', 'wheel']; die unless $res->[0] == 200 || $res->[0] == 304; # perform setup and save undo data (undo data should be serializable) $res = setup_unix_user ..., -undo_action => 'do'; die unless $res->[0] == 200 || $res->[0] == 304; my $undo_data = $res->[3]{undo_data}; # perform undo $res = setup_unix_user ..., -undo_action => "undo", -undo_data=>$undo_data; die unless $res->[0] == 200 || $res->[0] == 304; DESCRIPTION This module provides one function: setup_unix_user. This module is part of the Setup modules family. This module uses Log::Any logging framework. This module's functions have Sub::Spec specs. THE SETUP MODULES FAMILY I use the "Setup::" namespace for the Setup modules family. See "Setup::File" for more details on the goals, characteristics, and implementation of Setup modules family. FUNCTIONS None are exported by default, but they are exportable. setup_unix_user(%args) -> [STATUS_CODE, ERR_MSG, RESULT] Ensure existence of Unix user and its group memberships. On do, will create Unix user if not already exists. Newly created user's group memberships, homedir and skeleton files can also be created/copied automatically by this routine (utilizing Setup::Dir and Setup::File). On undo, will delete Unix user previously created (and/or remove/readd groups to original state, remove homedirs, etc). On redo, will recreate Unix user (and re-set memberships) with the same UID. Returns a 3-element arrayref. STATUS_CODE is 200 on success, or an error code between 3xx-5xx (just like in HTTP). ERR_MSG is a string containing error message, RESULT is the actual result. This function supports undo operation. See Sub::Spec::Clause::features for details on how to perform do/undo/redo. This function supports dry-run (simulation) mode. To run in dry-run mode, add argument "-dry_run" => 1. Arguments ("*" denotes required arguments): * create_home_dir => *bool* (default 1) Whether to create homedir when creating new user. * member_of => *array* List of Unix group names that the user must be member of. The first element will be used as the primary group. If a group doesn't exist, it will be ignored. If not specified, the default is one group having the same name as the user. The group will be created if not already exists. * name* => *str* User name. * new_gecos => *str* (default "") Set gecos (usually, full name) when creating new user. * new_home_dir => *str* Set home directory when creating new user, defaults to /home/. * new_home_dir_mode => *int* (default 448) Set permission mode of home dir when creating new user. * new_password => *str* Set password when creating new user. Default is a random password * new_shell => *str* (default "/bin/bash") Set shell when creating new user. * not_member_of* => *str* List of Unix group names that the user must NOT be member of. * skel_dir => *str* (default "/etc/skel") Directory to get skeleton files when creating new user. * use_skel_dir => *bool* (default 1) Whether to copy files from skeleton dir when creating new user.
