| 6 | Quattor and QWG templates allow to manage different aspects of user configuration, including : |
| 7 | * Local account creation and modification |
| 8 | * Configuration of authentication methods |
| 9 | * Configuration SSH keys |
| 10 | * Configuration of user privileges (e.g. sudo) |
| 11 | |
| 12 | The main NCM components related to user management are : |
| 13 | * `ncm-accounts` : creation and modification of local accounts |
| 14 | * `ncm-authconfig` : configuration of authentication methods. Most of the mechanisms supported by `authconfig` command can be managed by this component. |
| 15 | * `ncm-sudo` : management of SUDO configuration |
| 16 | * `ncm-useraccess` : configuration of SSH keys for users and rights to access applications |
