Setup

KUser usually is not installed by default, so it has to be installed manually. KUser is part of the kdeadmin-package.

Once installed you can find it under Kickoff -> Applications -> System -> KUser (Kickoff -> System -> KUser if you use the classic menu style) , or start it with KRunner (Alt+F2) typing

kuser

.

Using KUser

After starting KUser a window opens containing two tabs: Users and Groups.

Users

Double-clicking a user opens a dialog with several tabs. The amount of tabs is variable, depending on the type of the user storage system and whether quotas are being used.

User Info

Modify the user-properties like User-ID, Name, Address information or set/change a password for example. You can also deactivate an account.

Password Management

Change password settings, like the time after which a password has to be changed, or set a time at which an account will expire.

Groups

Add or remove groups the user belongs to.

Groups

Double clicking a group opens a dialog, where you can change the name of the group and add/remove users to/from a group.

Warning

Be careful deleting anything, as it can harm your system seriously!

Configure KUser

Click Settings -> Configure KUser and you can set up defaults for creating a new user:

General

set the shell, the home path or the UID.
choose if a home folder will be created and if a skeleton (standard configuration files) will be copied to the home folder.
set a private group, which creates a own personal group when a user is added and removes it, when the user is removed.
set a standard password policy.

Files

set default paths for password, group file, password shadow file and group shadow file.

LDAP

set preferences for users in a local network

Tip

In most cases you won't have to change the default settings, as they are sufficient for most users.
