Quattor and QWG templates allow to manage different aspects of user configuration, including :
 * Local account creation and modification
 * Configuration of authentication methods
 * Configuration SSH keys
 * Configuration of user privileges (e.g. sudo)
 
The main NCM components related to user management are :
 * `ncm-accounts` : creation and modification of local accounts
 * `ncm-authconfig` : configuration of authentication methods. Most of the mechanisms supported by `authconfig` command can be managed by this component.
 * `ncm-sudo` : management of SUDO configuration
 * `ncm-useraccess` : configuration of SSH keys for users and rights to access applications
 
In addition, QWG Templates provide a template, [source:templates/trunk/standard/users/config.tpl standard/users/config.tpl] that allows efficient creation of users and groups on a large number of machine. Look at [source:templates/trunk/standard/users/config.tpl template] for more information on how to configure it.
