whoami: Display the groups that the current user is a member of.
$ whoami /groups
try on your machine

The command "whoami /groups" is used to display the security groups that the current user belongs to.

The "whoami" command is a utility in Windows operating systems that sends the current user's username to the command line. When used alone, it displays the username of the currently logged-in user.

The "/groups" option is used to include the groups that the user is a member of along with their username. When this option is used with "whoami", it will list all the security groups the user is a member of.

By using "whoami /groups", you can gain information about the groups your user account is assigned to, which can be useful for troubleshooting or verifying your access rights within a network.
