This project involves creating a bash script to automate user and group management on a Linux system. The script reads a text file containing usernames and groups, creates users, assigns groups, sets up home directories, generates random passwords, and logs all actions.
To use the script, provide a text file with usernames and groups, where each line is formatted as user;groups.
alice;admin,dev bob;dev,test charlie;test
Run the script with the input file as an argument:
sudo bash create_users.sh users.txtFiles Created /var/log/user_management.log: Log of all actions performed by the script. /var/secure/user_passwords.txt: Securely stored passwords for all users.
