Changing user groups

You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to change user groups. User groups organize users of a clustered system by role.

Roles apply to both local and remote users on the system and are based on the user group to which the user belongs. A local user can belong only to a single group; therefore, the role of a local user is defined by the single group that the user belongs to. Remote users can belong to one or more groups; therefore, the roles of remote users are assigned according to the groups that the remote user belongs to.

To change a user group in the management GUI, select Access > Users. Select a user group and select Properties from the Actions menu.

Issue the chusergrp CLI command to change attributes of an existing user group.
For example:
```
chusergrp -role role_name -remote yes | nogroup_id_or_name
```
where role_name specifies the role that is associated with any users that belong to this group and group_id_or_name specifies the group to be changed. The remote parameter specifies whether the group is visible to the authentication server.
Issue the lsusergrp CLI command to display the user groups that were created on the system.
For example:
```
lsusergrp usergrp_id_or_name
```
where group_id_or_name specifies the user group to view. If you do not specify a user group ID or name, all user groups on the system are displayed.
