Hi @goyalkritika,

Syntax is the same like for a normal user. You only have to add isSystemUser property in your script to indicate that particular user is system user, here is link to documentation:

And simple example:

- user_config:
    - sample-service-user:
        - path: /home/users/system
          isMemberOf: administrators
          isSystemUser: true

Above code will create system user named sample-system-user, and assign it to administrators group.

Okay. And the service user will be having permissions just like administrators group, right? What if I don't want to assign the service user to any group and want to assign specific permissions to it?

Hello @goyalkritika 

 

You can assign permissions to Service user just like a normal user.

Only for creating it, you need to add additional param

I added the script and deployed it to my dev instance. But no user got created under the specified path.

What am I doing wrong here? Why service user was not created under /home/users/system?

Hello @goyalkritika 

 

Requesting you to please check following:

  • The YAML files should only contain spaces no tabs.
  • Check for Netcentric specific logs on server
  • Go to Security > Netcentric Tool 
    • Execute the script
    • Check the generated logs

All of this looks fine. I'm thinking this issue has something to do with AC tool configuration in cloud instance. Are you aware of any documentation or article that explains the same?
