This article will explain in detail about the use of linux's gpasswd command to set up the management user group. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

The gpasswd command is the management tool for the workgroup file / etc/group and / etc/gshadow under Linux. The system administrator can use the-an option to define the group administrator and the-m option to define the member. The gpasswd invoked by the group administrator with the group name only prompts for the new password of the group.

Syntax format: gpasswd [parameters]

Common parameters:

-an add user to group-d remove user from group-A specify administrator-M specify group member and-A use is similar-r delete password-R restrict user to login group, only members of the group can join the group with newgrp

Reference example

Use the-a parameter to add redis users to the linuxcool user group:

[root@linuxcool ~] # gpasswd-a redis linuxcool Adding user redis to group linuxcool

Display the information above to add users to the group using the-a parameter:

[root@linuxcool ~] # more / etc/group | grep linuxcool linuxcool:x:1005:redis

Use the-d parameter to remove the redis user from the linuxcool group:

[root@linuxcool ~] # gpasswd-d redis linuxcool Removing user redis from group linuxcool

Displays whether the redis user for the linuxcool group was deleted successfully:

[root@linuxcool ~] # more / etc/group | grep linuxcool linuxcool:x:1005: this is the end of setting up the management user group using the gpasswd command of linux. I hope the above content can be helpful to you and learn more. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see.
