NAME
pam_group -- Group PAM module
SYNOPSIS
[service-name] function-class control-flag pam_group [options]
DESCRIPTION
The Group PAM module supports the account management function class. In terms of the function-class parameter, this is the ``account'' class. The Group account management module permits or denies users based on their membership to a particular group (or groups) specified with the group option. If no groups are specified the default group (``wheel'') will be used. The following options may be passed to this account management module: deny Reverse the meaning of the test, i.e., reject the applicant if and only if he or she is a member of the specified group. This can be useful to exclude certain groups of users from certain services. fail_safe If the specified group does not exist, or has no members, act as if it does exist and the applicant is a member. group=groupname Specify the name of the group to check. This can be a comma-separated list (i.e. ``group=admin,wheel''). root_only Skip this module entirely if the target account is not the superuser account. ruser Check the membership of the applicant (PAM_RUSER), rather than the target account (PAM_USER)
