Overview

The InSpec users resources looksup all local users available on a system. TODO: the current version of the users resource will use eg. /etc/passwd on Linux to parse all usernames. Therefore the resource may not return users managed on other systems like LDAP/ActiveDirectory. Please open a feature request at github.com/chef/inspec if you need that functionality

This resource allows complex filter mechanisms

describe users.where(uid: 0).entries do

it { should eq ['root'] }
its('uids') { should eq [1234] }
its('gids') { should eq [1234] }

end

describe users.where { uid =~ /S-1-5-21-d+-d+-d+-500/ } do

it { should exist }

end
