|

<para><command>userdbctl</command> may be used to inspect user and groups (as well as group memberships)
|
|
of the system. This client utility inquires user/group information provided by various system services,
|
|
both operating on JSON user/group records (as defined by the <ulink
|
|
url="https://systemd.io/USER_RECORD">JSON User Record</ulink> and <ulink
|
|
url="https://systemd.io/GROUP_RECORD">JSON Group Record</ulink> definitions), and classic UNIX NSS/glibc
|
|
user and group records. This tool is primarily a client to the <ulink
|
|
url="https://systemd.io/USER_GROUP_API">User/Group Record Lookup API via Varlink</ulink>.</para>

and multiplexes user/group look-ups to all other running lookup services. This is the primary entry point
|
|
for user/group record clients, as it simplifies client side implementation substantially since they
|
|
can ask a single service for lookups instead of asking all running services in parallel.
|
|
<command>userdbctl</command> uses this service preferably, too, unless <option>--with-nss=</option>
|
|
or <option>--service=</option> are used, in which case finer control over the services to talk to is
|
|
required.</para></listitem>

and converts classic NSS/glibc user and group records to JSON user/group records, providing full
|
|
backwards compatibility. Use <option>--with-nss=no</option> to disable this compatibility, see
|
|
above. Note that compatibility is actually provided in both directions:
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>nss-systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> will
|
|
automatically synthesize classic NSS/glibc user/group records from all JSON user/group records
|
|
provided to the system, thus using both APIs is mostly equivalent and provides access to the same
|
|
data, however the NSS/glibc APIs necessarily expose a more reduced set of fields
|
|
only.</para></listitem>

|
|
|
|
<para>Note that <command>userdbctl</command> has internal support for NSS-based lookups too. This means
|
|
that if neither <constant>io.systemd.Multiplexer</constant> nor
|
|
<constant>io.systemd.NameSeviceSwitch</constant> are running look-ups into the the basic user/group
|
|
databases will still work.</para>
