user.update =========== Update attributes of an existing user. .. raw:: html
ID of the user account to update.
Updated configuration for the user account.
No Additional PropertiesString used to uniquely identify the user on the server. In order to be portable across systems, local user names must be composed of characters from the POSIX portable filename character set (IEEE Std 1003.1-2024 section 3.265). This means alphanumeric characters, hyphens, underscores, and periods. Usernames also may not begin with a hyphen or a period.
The local file system path for the user account's home directory.
Typically, this is required only if the account has shell access (local or SSH) to TrueNAS.
This is not required for accounts used only for SMB share access.
Must be at least 1 characters long
Available choices can be retrieved with user.shell_choices.
Must be at least 1 characters long
Comment field to provide additional information about the user account. Typically, this is the full name of the user or a short description of a service account. There are no character set restrictions for this field. This field is for information only.
Must be at least 1 characters long
The user account may be used to access SMB shares. If set to true then TrueNAS stores an NT hash of the user account's password for local accounts. This feature is unavailable for local accounts when General Purpose OS STIG compatibility mode is enabled. If set to true the user is automatically added to the builtin_users group.
Specifies the subuid mapping for this user. If DIRECT then the UID will be directly mapped to all containers. Alternatively, the target UID may be explicitly specified. If null, then the UID will not be mapped.
NOTE: This field will be ignored for users that have been assigned TrueNAS roles.
Value must be greater or equal to 1 and lesser or equal to 4294967294
The group entry id for the user's primary group. This is not the same as the Unix group gid value. This is required if group_create is false.
Array of additional groups to which the user belongs. NOTE: Groups are identified by their group entry id, not their Unix group ID (gid).
If set to true password authentication for the user account is disabled.
NOTE: Users with password authentication disabled may still authenticate to the TrueNAS server by other methods, such as SSH key-based authentication.
NOTE: Password authentication is required for smb users.
Allow the user to authenticate to the TrueNAS SSH server using a password.
WARNING: The established best practice is to use only key-based authentication for SSH servers.
SSH public keys corresponding to private keys that authenticate this user to the TrueNAS SSH server.
If set to true the account is locked. The account cannot be used to authenticate to the TrueNAS server.
An array of commands the user may execute with elevated privileges. User is prompted for password when executing any command from the array.

No Additional PropertiesThis is the API identifier for the user. Use this ID for user.update and user.delete API calls. This ID also appears in the users array for each group entry in group.query results.
NOTE: For users from a directory service, the id is calculated by adding 100000000 to the uid. This ensures consistent API results. You cannot change directory service accounts through TrueNAS.
A non-negative integer used to identify a system user. TrueNAS uses this value for permission checks and many other system purposes.
A string used to identify a user. Local accounts must use characters from the POSIX portable filename character set.
Must be at least 1 characters long
Hashed password for local accounts. This value is null for accounts provided by directory services.
