User planning

For users who want to deploy the Community Edition of OCP using the graphical interface, they must have the privileges to run sudo commands without using a password.

You can follow the steps below to manually create a user (using admin as an example) and grant sudo privileges to the user:

1. Run the following command to create the admin user:

   useradd -U admin -d /home/admin -s /bin/bash
   mkdir -p /home/admin
   sudo chown -R admin:admin /home/admin
   

2. Run the following command to set a password for admin:

   passwd admin
   

3. Grant sudo privileges to the user.

   Run the following command to open the sudoers file in the /etc/directory. Add the following content to the end of the file:

   ## Same thing without a password
   # %wheel        ALL=(ALL)       NOPASSWD: ALL
   admin       ALL=(ALL)       NOPASSWD: ALL
   

4. Run the following command in the /home directory to check the directory privileges:

   ls -ld /data
   ls -ld /home/admin
   

   The command output should be like this:

   drwxr-xr-x 2 admin admin 4096 Feb 9 18:43
   drwxr-xr-x 2 admin admin 4096 Feb 9 18:43 /data
   drwxr-xr-x 2 admin admin 4096 Feb 9 18:43 /home/admin
   

   If the admin user does not have the privileges, run the following command as the root user:

   chown -R admin:admin /data
   chown -R admin:admin /home/admin
   

   Here, /data and /home/admin are sample mount directories. Replace the actual mount directories in this section.
