A simple way to configure users in a system

User Role for Ansible

Initializes users within a system. Supports unlimited users, key management, and sudo capabilities.

Configuration

This role expects there to be a users array defined which can have any of the following keys defined:

• username: The name of the user.
• keys_generate: Whether or not to generate keys
• keys_bits: Number of bits to include in SSH key
• is_admin: Whether or not the user will have passwordless sudo privs

The only required key is the username key.

Example

users: [
  { username: 'foo' },
  { username: 'bar', keys_generate: true },
  { username: 'baz', keys_generate: true, keys_bits: 4086 },
  { username: 'bif', keys_authorized: "~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub" },
  { username: 'thud', is_admin: true }
]

To Do

• Initialize a ~/bin directory
• Allow for finer-graned user settings (home dir, primary/secondary groups, etc)
