Is it possible to provision multiple user accounts (eg. security scanning accounts) during autoinstall? The primary account gets created with user-data:

identity: hostname: useful password: hash here0 realname: Super Guy username: ubuntu

Is there a way to create additional accounts?

Should this be handled in a post-install script? If so what is the best way to create the account without having password clear-text present? The useradd program doesn't seem to have an option for providing the password hash.

  • I may help to know what version of Ubuntu you are using. A must for any question. – David Sep 28 '22 at 06:00
  • To create multiple users you have to use the user-data users section and must remove the identity section. See these examples https://askubuntu.com/a/1385096/376778 https://askubuntu.com/a/1366399/376778 . You could also use a post-install script or late-commands, but this is the provided method. – Andrew Lowther Sep 28 '22 at 16:18
