<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>This tool is part of the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
<para>The pdbedit program is used to manage the users accounts
stored in the sam database and can only be run by root.</para>
<para>The pdbedit tool uses the passdb modular interface and is
independent from the kind of users database used (currently there
are smbpasswd, ldap, nis+ and tdb based and more can be added
without changing the tool).</para>
<para>There are five main ways to use pdbedit: adding a user account,
removing a user account, modifing a user account, listing user
accounts, importing users accounts.</para>
