Pi default user

Luke · Sep 12th 2016

Hi,

can someone tell me how to recreate the "Pi" user which is created
in the original installation of OMV ?
What were its permission ?
Can i import it from a file ?

I deleted it and I want to recreate it.

Why? You shouldn't need it for OMV. It was just a leftover user from me using Raspbian for the starting RPi image. You can create a user in the web interface. The Pi user probably is in the ssh and sudo groups. Most other groups wouldn't be that important.

OK.
I see a lot of groups and I don't know their funcionality, maybe there's a guide ?

There is no guide because I don't think that user is useful. Why do you need it?

Just to understand the whole system, sometimes I have some difficulties with user's privileges and authentications and maybe there's something to do there.

You shouldn't need the pi user. Just create users with any name and try assigning them to different groups. It doesn't hurt to have lots of users and you can always delete them.
