How do I get a list of users in Unix?

List All Unix Users. To list all users on a Unix system, even the ones who are not logged in, look at the /etc/password file. Use the ‘cut’ command to only see one field from the password file. For example, to just see the Unix user names, use the command “$ cat /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f1.”
