For POSIX platforms the `user` structure has the following fields:

* **`uid`** (int, REQUIRED) specifies the user ID in the [container namespace](glossary.md#container-namespace).
* **`gid`** (int, REQUIRED) specifies the group ID in the [container namespace](glossary.md#container-namespace).
* **`uid`** (int, REQUIRED) specifies the user ID (UID) in the [container namespace](glossary.md#container-namespace).
* **`gid`** (int, REQUIRED) specifies the group ID (GID) in the [container namespace](glossary.md#container-namespace).
* **`umask`** (int, OPTIONAL) specifies the [umask][umask_2] of the user. If unspecified, the umask should not be changed from the calling process' umask.
* **`additionalGids`** (array of ints, OPTIONAL) specifies additional group IDs in the [container namespace](glossary.md#container-namespace) to be added to the process.
* **`additionalGids`** (array of ints, OPTIONAL) specifies additional group IDs in the [container namespace](glossary.md#container-namespace) to be added to the list of supplementary group IDs.

On a POSIX platform, processes have both a 'base' GID (as specified in the `gid` field), and an array of supplementary group IDs as described in [IEEE Std 1003.1-2008][ieee-1003.1.2008-xbd-c3.378].
Runtimes MUST ensure that all group IDs specified by `gid` and `additionalGids` are present in the array of supplementary group IDs.
Runtimes SHOULD preserve the order of `additionalGids`; if the base GID (as specified in the `gid` field) is absent from `additionalGids`, it SHOULD be positioned at the start of the supplementary group ID array.

Entities which create a container using a runtime on a POSIX platform SHOULD duplicate the base GID (as specified in the `gid` field) as `additionalGids[0]`; this maximizes compatibility and consistency when using runtimes that target a previous version of this specification.

_Note: symbolic name for uid and gid, such as uname and gname respectively, are left to upper levels to derive (i.e. `/etc/passwd` parsing, NSS, etc)_
