Workstation User

Description

This role creates the workstation user defined by WORKSTATION_USER and configures its basic environment. It integrates with the shared user role to deploy shell dotfiles and SSH authorized_keys.

Single Point of Truth (SPOT)

User data must be defined under users.<name> and selected via WORKSTATION_USER.

Minimum required fields:

WORKSTATION_USER
users.<WORKSTATION_USER>.username (defaults to WORKSTATION_USER if missing)

Optional fields:

users.<WORKSTATION_USER>.uid
users.<WORKSTATION_USER>.gid
users.<WORKSTATION_USER>.shell
users.<WORKSTATION_USER>.groups (list)
users.<WORKSTATION_USER>.authorized_keys (list; may be empty)

Notes

Sudo can be enabled via user_workstation_enable_sudo.
Password handling is intentionally conservative. If you want a password, set users.<WORKSTATION_USER>.password (plain) and enable user_workstation_set_password.
