sss_groupmod

SSS_GROUPMOD(8) 						 SSSD Manual pages						   SSS_GROUPMOD(8)

NAME

       sss_groupmod - modify a group

SYNOPSIS

       sss_groupmod [options] GROUP

DESCRIPTION

       sss_groupmod modifies the group to reflect the changes that are specified on the command line.

OPTIONS

       -a,--append-group GROUPS
	   Append this group to groups specified by the GROUPS parameter. The GROUPS parameter is a comma separated list of group names.

       -r,--remove-group GROUPS
	   Remove this group from groups specified by the GROUPS parameter.

       -h,--help
	   Display help message and exit.

THE LOCAL DOMAIN

       In order to function correctly, a domain with "id_provider=local" must be created and the SSSD must be running.

       The administrator might want to use the SSSD local users instead of traditional UNIX users in cases where the group nesting (see
       sss_groupadd(8)) is needed. The local users are also useful for testing and development of the SSSD without having to deploy a full remote
       server. The sss_user* and sss_group* tools use a local LDB storage to store users and groups.
