Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers How to check when a group was removed for an id? Post 303032612 by Don Cragun on Thursday 21st of March 2019 02:46:18 AM

With so little information given, there isn't much that we can say other than that someone who knows the appropriate password or has the appropriate privileges was logged in at the time the change was made. You say that many things started failing all of a sudden. That is the time at which it happened.

What manager is responsible for the group from which that user was removed? Did that manager ask/authorize that user to be removed from that group? Was that user transferred to a different group? Was that user fired?

Other than that user being unable to run jobs requiring the privileges of that group ID, is anyone other than that user unable to run any code that they need to run? If so, why? I.e., why are other users trying to run code as another user instead of using their own accounts? Why aren't their user IDs in the group if they need to run code that requires privileges to run code that affects projects owned by that group?
