Import Linux Users with a Shell Script

You can auto-import your existing Linux users into ̽»¨´óÉñ via a script which leverages the ̽»¨´óÉñ API and a ̽»¨´óÉñ commands.

Once you've downloaded the JC_UserImport.sh script from , modify these three things:

  1. Your API Key: Used to access your ̽»¨´óÉñ account to identify users already added, and to add new users to it.
  2. userAddEmailMap: A simple bash here-document that maps Linux usernames to their email accounts for all users. When they're found on one of your servers, that account is added to ̽»¨´óÉñ.
  3. userIgnoreList: A list of user accounts on your servers that you do not want added to ̽»¨´óÉñ.

Once the script is prepared, you can leverage a ̽»¨´óÉñ command to run it against your systems. See Get Started: Commands.

Next, look at the command results details for each server to see which users were automatically added, which already existed within ̽»¨´óÉñ, and which were found, but not in ̽»¨´óÉñ, or in either the userAddEmailMap or userIgnoreList.

You can run the script as many times as you like, modifying the userAddEmailMap or userIgnoreList as you go until all your users are imported.
