The Group section allows the optional definition of user groups to simplify management of the Access Rights for individual users with similar requirements. The Rights associated with the group_name in the Access Control List section [acls] , will propagate those rights to all users in the group.
Syntax
[groups]
<group_name>=<user_name> [,<user_name>…]
Keyword and Parameter Descriptions
| Keyword | Description |

| <group_name>=<user_name> [,<user_name>…] |
Defines a "named group" and the members of that group. The case sensitive user_name/user-id of a connecting client must match a name specified in one or more group_names or the user will be considered a guest. The user_name may include a domain, eg: user_name@server but more commonly does not which facilitates the use of a single NACL key pair for an individual user with accounts on multiple systems.
Note: Access Rights are cumulative, that is, if a user belongs to two or more groups or has an ACL of its own, the total ACL of the user is the union of the ACL's of itself and all the groups to which the user belongs.
