The tool is equipped with a user information utility that can retrieve user data and display it in a well-organized format. It can list users from a given UID or UID 500 by default.

Furthermore, it can list expired or locked users, change the shell for a user, and list users in an existing group.

The tool offers numerous command-line options, which makes it easy to use. These include many helpful options such as -G group, which allows adding a user to a specific group. Similarly, -g group shows users in the respective group. Furthermore, -h shows the help menu, and -v displays version information. The -i option is the default option that displays user information. Also, the -l option lists users beginning with UID and upward, and if not provided with any UID, it defaults to 500.

Additionally, the tool features the -p option to print and list data to the default printer or a specified one. It allows users to change a user's shell type using the -s option, while -x lists expired or locked user accounts. Finally, the -m option can move the user account to a new name by changing all records and configuration files.

UI also offers the ability to stack multiple options, for example, -ip username or -lp username. Overall, UI is an excellent utility tool for system administrators looking for a reliable and efficient solution to manage user accounts and groups effectively.
