This implementation addresses the User Management HLD requirements for centralized user administration in SONiC. sonic-net/SONiC#2018 **1. YANG Model & Configuration Schema:** - Added sonic-user.yang model defining LOCAL_USER and LOCAL_ROLE_SECURITY_POLICY tables - Integrated user management into CONFIG_DB schema with role-based configuration - Added DEVICE_METADATA.local_user_management feature flag **2. User Management Daemon (userd):** - Implemented C++ daemon using SWSS framework for CONFIG_DB integration - Added user lifecycle management (create/update/delete/enable/disable) - Implemented role-based group assignment (administrator, operator roles) - Added SSH key management with proper file permissions - Integrated PAM faillock configuration using Jinja2 templates **3. CLI Interface:** - Extended sonic-utilities with 'config user' and 'show user' commands - Added user import functionality to migrate existing system users - Added role-based user management with proper validation **4. Build System Integration:** - Added sonic-host-services package with userd daemon and systemd service - Integrated user management into SONiC image build process - Added template-based configuration generation for init_cfg.json - Added build dependencies for JSON processing and password hashing

Currently the local users that are created are not persistent across upgrades. This HLD proposes to manage the users across upgrades by storing the configuration in CONFIG_DB and a daemon to manage them in Linux.
