NAME

       sss_groupadd - create a new group

SYNOPSIS

       sss_groupadd [options] GROUP

DESCRIPTION

       sss_groupadd creates a new group. These groups are compatible with POSIX groups, with the
       additional feature that they can contain other groups as members.

OPTIONS

       -g,--gid GID
           Set the GID of the group to the value of GID. If not given, it is chosen
           automatically.

       -?,--help
           Display help message and exit.

THE LOCAL DOMAIN

       In order to function correctly, a domain with “id_provider=local” must be created and the
       SSSD must be running.

       The administrator might want to use the SSSD local users instead of traditional UNIX users
       in cases where the group nesting (see sss_groupadd(8)) is needed. The local users are also
       useful for testing and development of the SSSD without having to deploy a full remote
       server. The sss_user* and sss_group* tools use a local LDB storage to store users and
       groups.
