Plugin users¶
The default authentication provider used in Ajenti is the OS provider which allows all users of the system to log in.
The plugin auth_users provides an alternative way to authenticate users, and to create custom users. All users data are stored in plain text, in /etc/ajenti/users.yml (but this is configurable).
The default view presents a list of current users and let you:
add a new user,
manage the properties of an existing user,
delete an existing user.
The property modal window displays some utilities per account:
system account: all user accounts must be bound to a system account in order to set the privileges. An user bound to
rootwil have all privileges, but an user bound to a system user account likearnaudwill only have the privileges of the system userarnaud.password change: only a hash is stored, not the password itself,
set the email: for password reset,
select the sidebar entries and permissions of the user.
Don’t forget to SAVE the changes when updating an user.
