#!/usr/bin/env bash # @file ~/.local/bin/add-user # @brief Add a user and a group with the same name on either Linux or macOS # @description # This script is utilized by other scripts to ensure that there is both a user and group # named by the single argument that this executable accepts. It checks whether or not # there is already a user / group with the name present on the system before running # any code. On macOS, it assigns the user an ID that equal to the maximum user ID present # on the system plus one. # # This script was generated with ChatGPT. # Check if the script is being run as root if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then echo -e "\e[91mThis script must be run as root\e[0m" exit 1 fi # Check if the correct number of arguments is provided if [[ $# -ne 1 ]]; then echo -e "\e[93mUsage: $0 \e[0m" exit 1 fi GROUP=$1 # Check if the operating system is macOS if [[ "$(uname)" == "Darwin" ]]; then echo -e "\e[96mCreating group and user ${GROUP} on macOS...\e[0m" # Check if the group already exists if ! sudo dscl . read /Groups/"${GROUP}" >/dev/null 2>&1; then # Create the group sudo dscl . create /Groups/"${GROUP}" # Ensure the group has a GID if [[ "$(sudo dscl . read /Groups/"$group" gid 2>&1)" == *"No such key"* ]]; then MAX_ID_GROUP=$(dscl . -list /Groups gid | awk '{print $2}' | sort -ug | tail -1) GROUP_ID=$((MAX_ID_GROUP+1)) sudo dscl . create /Groups/"${GROUP}" gid "$GROUP_ID" fi else echo -e "\e[93mGroup ${GROUP} already exists\e[0m" fi # Check if the user already exists if ! sudo dscl . read /Users/"${GROUP}" >/dev/null 2>&1; then # Create the user sudo dscl . create /Users/"${GROUP}" # Ensure the user has a PrimaryGroupID if [[ "$(sudo dscl . read /Users/"${GROUP}" PrimaryGroupID 2>&1)" == *"No such key"* ]]; then sudo dscl . create /Users/"${GROUP}" PrimaryGroupID 20 fi # Ensure the user has a UniqueID if [[ "$(sudo dscl . read /Users/"${GROUP}" UniqueID 2>&1)" == *"No such key"* ]]; then MAX_ID_USER=$(dscl . -list /Users UniqueID | sort -nr -k 2 | head -1 | grep -oE "[0-9]+$") USER_ID="$((MAX_ID_USER+1))" sudo dscl . create /Users/"${GROUP}" UniqueID "$USER_ID" fi # Add the user to the group sudo dseditgroup -o edit -t user -a "${GROUP}" "${GROUP}" # Add the current user to the group sudo dseditgroup -o edit -t user -a "${USER}" "${GROUP}" else echo -e "\e[93mUser ${GROUP} already exists\e[0m" fi echo -e "\e[92mGroup and user ${GROUP} created successfully on macOS\e[0m" exit 0 elif [[ "$(uname)" == "Linux" ]]; then echo -e "\e[96mCreating group and user ${GROUP} on Linux...\e[0m" # Check if the group already exists if ! grep -qE "^${GROUP}:" /etc/group; then # Create the group groupadd "${GROUP}" else echo -e "\e[93mGroup ${GROUP} already exists\e[0m" fi # Check if the user already exists if ! id -u "${GROUP}" >/dev/null 2>&1; then # Create the user and assign it to the group useradd -g "${GROUP}" "${GROUP}" else echo -e "\e[93mUser ${GROUP} already exists\e[0m" fi echo -e "\e[92mGroup and user ${GROUP} created successfully on Linux\e[0m" exit 0 fi # If the operating system is neither macOS nor Linux, display an error message echo -e "\e[91mUnsupported operating system\e[0m" exit 1
