salt.modules.groupadd

Manage groups on Linux, OpenBSD and NetBSD

Important

If you feel that Salt should be using this module to manage groups on a minion, and it is using a different module (or gives an error similar to 'group.info' is not available), see here.

Add the specified group

CLI Example:

salt '*' group.add foo 3456
salt.modules.groupadd.adduser(name, username)

Add a user in the group.
