It would be nice, but doesn't work (on openSUSE at least):
$ id
uid=1000(bruno) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),33(video)
$ sudo -g '#33' /bin/pwd
Sorry, user bruno is not allowed to execute '/bin/pwd' as bruno:video on linuix.
$ sudo -g video /bin/pwd
Sorry, user bruno is not allowed to execute '/bin/pwd' as bruno:video on linuix.
Probably this could be changed in the /etc/sudoers file...
