+To set up and use the HIL workflows, you must create a GitHub Actions runner on the server. You’ll need higher-level permissions to create the runner, and you should double-check that the runner name matches what’s specified in the workflows.

+## Login User Setup
+
+This is how to setup a special user named **`login`** that automatically runs a user-creation script whenever it is accessed.
+
+---
+
+### 1. Create the `login` User
+
+```bash
+sudo adduser login
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. Edit the `.bashrc` File
+
+Open the file:
+
+```bash
+sudo nano /home/login/.bashrc
+```
+
+At the **bottom** of the file, paste the code that is in the **bashrc.sh** script as shown below.
+
+```bash
+echo "Type 'create' to create a new user account, or 'exit' to log out."
+read input
+if [ "$input" == "create" ]; then
+    /usr/local/bin/create_user.sh
+    exit
+else
+    echo "Goodbye!"
+    exit
+fi
+```
+
+Save and exit.
+
+---
+
+### 3. Install the `create_user.sh` Script
+
+Place your script in:
+
+```bash
+sudo nano /usr/local/bin/create_user.sh
+```
+
+Make it executable:
+
+```bash
+sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/create_user.sh
+```
+
+---
+
+### 4. Grant Permissions
+
+Allow the `login` user to run the script and user management commands without a password:
+
+```bash
+sudo visudo
+```
+
+Add the following line at the bottom:
+
+```bash
+login ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/create_user.sh, /usr/sbin/adduser, /usr/sbin/chpasswd
+```
+
+Save and exit.
+
+---
+
+### 5. How to Delete a User if Needed
+
+To remove a user and their home directory:
+
+```bash
+sudo deluser --remove-home username
+```
+
+---
+
+### 6. Access the `login` User
+
+Switch to the `login` account:
+
+```bash
+sudo -i
+cd /home/login
+```
+
+Whenever the `login` user is accessed, the `create_user.sh` script will run automatically.
