It seems there is no way to manage system role accounts via openconfig today, meaning it's necessary to know about the NOS or underlying OS in order to get that done.

Would be good to add a strict definition what a "system role account" is.

OpenConfig has SYSTEM_ROLE_ADMIN https://github.com/openconfig/public/blob/db78d44e93a97cef4db27f82bba3fba454e907a5/release/models/system/openconfig-aaa-types.yang#L77-L84, but I have a feeling that you mean something else in this context.

Is it the case, avanpo, that you mean here:
"Add an account to the NOS, but not to the underlying unix system."

This maybe an operator account:

operator - robot/user responsible for interface up/down/troubleshooting

or an administrative account:

god - the user with all power/privilege on the device
