prism-users

prism-users is an interactive TUI (Terminal User Interface) utility designed to manage user accounts within the Prism ecosystem. Rather than manually editing Nix expressions and worrying about syntax errors, this script provides a guided wizard to add, list, or remove users by directly manipulating the users.nix configuration file.

How it Works

1. Config Location: The script identifies your primary configuration directory, checking /etc/prism (global) or ~/.config/prism (user-level) to locate the users.nix file.
2. Guided Wizard (gum): Using the gum toolkit, it provides a polished interface for:
   • Listing: Greps the configuration file to show currently defined Prism users.
   • Adding: Collects username, full name, password, and a Profile Type (e.g., dev, gamer, pentester). It then injects a pre-formatted Nix block into the configuration.
   • Removing: Identifies user blocks via specific comment markers (# --- USER: name ---) and uses sed to cleanly excise the entire block.
3. Declarative Integrity: All changes are made to the .nix source files. To make the changes "real" on the system, the script offers to trigger a nixos-rebuild switch immediately after editing the file.

Key Features

• Profile Integration: When adding a user, you can assign a profileType. This triggers specific package sets or configurations (e.g., a gamer profile might auto-enable Steam and MangoHud).
• Safety Markers: The script uses comment markers to track where a user's configuration starts and ends, ensuring that deletions are precise and don't "leak" into other parts of the system config.
• Automation: It handles group assignments (like wheel for sudo access and networkmanager) automatically for every new Prism user.

Usage

Run the command in a terminal to launch the wizard:

prism-users
