Appendix A. Reserved user IDs

OpenStack reserves certain user IDs to run specific services and own specific files. These user IDs are set up according to the distribution packages. The following table gives an overview.

Note

Some OpenStack packages generate and assign user IDs automatically during package installation. In these cases, the user ID value is not important. The existence of the user ID is what matters.
