Create TAS user group and TAS user account

Create a TAS user group, and tas_install user.

The TAS user group supports dynamic user ID. If the default ID is in use or conflicts with your requirements, assign a custom ID by adding it to the inventory file during installation.

You must create the TAS user group and the TAS user on each of the TAS servers in your deployment.

Before you begin

Install RPMs for TAS servers

Procedure

Create a TAS user group with ID 5000, and default name tas:
Copy
```
groupadd -g 5000  tas
```
If you change the default ID of the tas group, you must also change it in the inventory file during installation.
Create an Installation service user:
1. Add the installation user with user name tas_inst to the TAS user group:
2. Copy
```
useradd -g 5000 -u 5002 tas_inst
```
3. Change the password for the tas_inst user:
  Copy
```
passwd tas_inst
```
Enable processes run by tas_inst to continue after the user logs out:
Copy
```
loginctl enable-linger tas_inst
```
