gpasswd: Set the list of group members.
$ sudo gpasswd -M ${user1,user2} ${group}
try on your machine
The command sudo gpasswd -M ${user1,user2} ${group}
is being executed with administrative privileges (using sudo
). It modifies the group membership (-M
) of multiple users (${user1,user2}
) and assigns them to a specific group (${group}
).
Here's a breakdown of the command:
sudo
: This command allows a user with administrative (root) privileges to execute the following command.gpasswd
: This is a command used to manage the group passwords and membership in Linux.-M ${user1,user2}
: The-M
flag specifies a comma-separated list of users that should be added to or removed from the group. In this case,${user1,user2}
represents multiple user names or variable values.${group}
: This is the name of the group where the specified users will be added or removed. It is a variable value or a specific group name.
By executing this command, the group membership of user1
and user2
will be modified to include them in the ${group}
group specified.
