About:
CreateUserPkg is a macOS application that enables system administrators and IT professionals to create installer packages (.pkg files) for deploying standardized user accounts across multiple Macs. It provides a graphical interface to define account properties, home directory settings, and administrative privileges, which are then packaged for silent deployment via tools like Jamf, Munki, or Apple Remote Desktop. Its main value is streamlining mass user account provisioning in enterprise and education environments.

Key Features:

Graphical interface for defining user account properties
Generates standard macOS installer packages (.pkg)
Supports setting admin privileges, UID, home directory, and picture
Integrates with mass deployment systems (e.g., Jamf, Munki)
Allows saving account templates for reuse

Use Cases:

IT administrators deploying standardized user accounts across a Mac fleet
Educational institutions setting up lab or classroom machines with pre-defined accounts
System integrators creating golden master images with user packages

Alternatives:

dscl – Command-line tool for directory services; more flexible but requires scripting and lacks a GUI for package creation
InstaDMG/System Image Utility – Tools for creating system images; can include user accounts but are more focused on full OS deployment
