Restore user account from ssh
Hello dear community, I used to have several users that I created as I recieved the NAS and was experimenting a year ago. It seems that I removed some user accounts, but I still can see them in ...
You should not add users to the admin group as the default. We hide these users from the UI.
You should change the default group ID of your user to be the same (like user id 100 should have group id 100)
Then you should use usermod -a -G admin {user}
Then systemctl restart readynasd
That will refresh the UI with your users.
We have a middleware that takes care of user accounts so you are essentially bypassing that whole subsystem by using SSH to add users.
Thanks a lot for your answer Kohdee, just to make sure that I don't mess things up.
You advise any user to have the GID 100 (group name: "user") in my case :
usermod -g 100 titimoi
and to make it member of the group "admin" with
usermod -a -G admin {user}Am I right so far ?
Last question, is it normal to have cloud user (email address as login) part of the group admin (98) ? It's my case.
