| 1 | +# freeipa_server_users |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Create superusers in FreeIPA. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +This role creates superuser accounts in a FreeIPA environment. It's used to establish administrative accounts that are then added to a specified group, typically the **admins** group, to ensure they have the necessary permissions. The role is highly configurable, allowing you to define one or more superusers with their personal details and passwords. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## Requirements |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +- A running and accessible **FreeIPA server**. |
| 10 | +- The `ipaadmin_principal` must have permissions to create users and manage groups within the FreeIPA environment. |
| 11 | +- Network connectivity from the Ansible controller (or the execution host) to the FreeIPA server. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +## Dependencies |

| 15 | +None. |
