We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Please note, the information below
is for guidance only and neither of
these methods should be considered

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.
