| === Adding custom user accounts |
| |
| Sometimes it is needed to add specific users in the target system. |
| To cover this requirement, Buildroot provides support for so-called |
| _users tables_. To use this feature, set config option |
| +BR2_ROOTFS_USERS_TABLES+ to a space-separated list of users tables, |
| regular text files following the xref:makeuser-syntax[makeusers syntax]. |
| |
| As shown in xref:customize-dir-structure[], the recommended location for |
| such files is +board/<company>/<boardname>/+. |
| |
| It should be noted that if the custom users are related to a specific |
| application, you should set variable +FOO_USERS+ in the package's +.mk+ |
| file instead (see xref:generic-package-reference[]). |
