OPTIONS
-u,--uid UID

-h,--home HOME_DIR

-G,--groups GROUPS
- A list of existing groups this user is also a member of.
-m,--create-home

-M,--no-create-home
- Do not create the user's home directory. Overrides configuration settings.
-k,--skel SKELDIR
-
The skeleton directory, which contains files and directories to be copied in the user's home directory, when the home directory is created by
sss_useradd.
Special files (block devices, character devices, named pipes and unix sockets) will not be copied.
This option is only valid if the -m (or --create-home) option is specified, or creation of home directories is set to TRUE in the configuration.
-Z,--selinux-user SELINUX_USER
- The SELinux user for the user's login. If not specified, the system default will be used.
-?,--help
- Display help message and exit.
THE LOCAL DOMAIN
In order to function correctly, a domain with "id_provider=local" must be created and the SSSD must be running.
The administrator might want to use the SSSD local users instead of traditional UNIX users in cases where the group nesting (see sss_groupadd(8)) is needed. The local users are also useful for testing and development of the SSSD without having to deploy a full remote server. The sss_user* and sss_group* tools use a local LDB storage to store users and groups.
