Creds is a library for managing Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD user accounts and credentials.
Project description
Creds
Creds is a library that simplifies the management of user accounts and their credentials on Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
Instead of issuing commands to create, update and delete users and their ssh keys, supply Creds with details of the users you want and it will take care of the implementation.
The supported inputs are currently YAML, JSON or python dictionaries.
User vs System accounts
UID_MIN = 1000 # User accounts will have an id of 1000 or moreUID_MAX = 60000 # User accounts will not have an id higher than 60000
Example Usage
Read a list of users from users.yml and create them (if missing) or update (if existing):
from creds.users import Users from creds.plan import (create_plan, execute_plan) existing_users = Users.from_passwd() # Get a list of existing users and their keys proposed_users = Users.from_yaml('users.yml') # Read the proposed list of users and their keys # Generate a list of operations to transition from current to existing plan = create_plan(existing_users=existing_users, proposed_users=proposed_users) execute_plan(plan=plan) # Execute the plan
Deleting users
If your input defines all of the user accounts you want to exist, you can choose to purge any that are undefined by adding a parameter to create_plan:
plan = create_plan(existing_users=existing_users, proposed_users=proposed_users, purge_undefined=True)
Protecting users
If there are users you want to protect from change, e.g. you want to make sure that certain users are not deleted or updated under any circumstances, then you can supply a list of usernames for Creds to ignore:
plan = create_plan(existing_users=existing_users, proposed_users=proposed_users, purge_undefined=True, protected_users=['rod', 'jane', 'freddy'])
