Group Administration Practices

The System Administrator role needs to verify on the local system and on the network that all groups have a unique group ID (GID).

When a local group is deleted from the system, the System Administrator role must ensure the following:

  • All objects with the GID of the deleted group must be deleted or assigned to another group.

  • All users who have the deleted group as their primary group must be reassigned to another primary group.
