User Management Commands
user-add (ua) [username] [privilege] [...]
Adds a new user with the specified username and privileges. The following privileges can be
granted: install, lock, remove, subscribe, trusted, upgrade, view, superuser. If you do not
provide arguments, you are prompted for them. After the user is added, rug user-update
is launched automatically. Use this tool to grant additional privileges. Accept the following
option flags:
-r, --replace - Replaces the user if that user already exists.
user-delete (ud) [username] [...]
Deletes the specified users.
user-edit (ue) [username]
Edits an existing user. This command is interactive: it first lists privileges, then offers you a
prompt. Enter the plus (+) or minus (-) symbol and then the name of the privilege, then press
Enter. For example, to permit the user to install software, you would type +install. To save and
quit, press Enter on a blank line. The following privileges can be granted or revoked: install,
lock, remove, subscribe, trusted, upgrade, view, superuser.
user-list (ul)
Lists users. To view the list of users, you need to have either the readonly or the superuser
privilege. The readonly privilege can be enabled by using either the user-add or user-
edit command.
