User management in Linux

By default, Okta Privileged Access creates server usernames that follow the most restrictive Linux naming conventions. Usernames can contain lowercase letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), dashes (-), and underscores (_), can't be a reserved name, and have a maximum length of 32 characters. In the event a username collision occurs, an attempt is made to differentiate between users by appending a number to the server username.

The permissions that users are assigned when they log into server resources with their individual accounts are restricted to end user, non-administrative permissions.

Users are created and configured on Linux using standard tools, such as useradd and groupmod.
