# users
|
|
|
|
Use the `users` InSpec audit resource to look up all local users available on the system, and then test specific properties of those users. This resource does not return information about users that may be located on other systems, such as LDAP or Active Directory.
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Availability
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
This resource is distributed along with InSpec itself. You can use it automatically.
|
|
|
|
### Version
|
|
|
|
This resource first became available in v1.0.0 of InSpec.
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
A `users` resource block declares a user name, and then one (or more) matchers:
|
|
|
|
describe users.where(uid: 0).entries do
|
|
it { should eq ['root'] }
|
|
its('uids') { should eq [1234] }
|
|
its('gids') { should eq [1234] }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
where
|
|
|
|
* `gid`, `group`, `groups`, `home`, `maxdays`, `mindays`, `shell`, `uid`, and `warndays` are valid matchers for this resource
|
|
* `where(uid: 0).entries` represents a filter that runs the test only against matching users
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
describe users.where { username =~ /.*/ } do
|
|
it { should exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
or:
|
|
|
|
describe users.where { uid =~ /^S-1-5-[0-9-]+-501$/ } do
|
|
it { should exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
|
|
|
|
### Use a regular expression to find users
|
|
|
|
describe users.where { uid =~ /S\-1\-5\-21\-\d+\-\d+\-\d+\-500/ } do
|
|
it { should exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
