Hello,I am trying to add a new user to another group. This group was setup for another user. When I create the user is seems to do the same thing as when I create them on a local system. I get a User and a group for the user as well. However when I go to add another user to that newly created group I can't find it. If I go to create the group with the same name FIPA says its already created. Any reason its doing this? Am I doing something wrong? I am running CentOS 7.4, FreeIPA 4.5.x.
By what you describe you are dealing with user private groups. The concept of a user private group is that it is automatically managed for the user -- it has the same GID as that user's UID, you cannot create a group with the same name manually and so on. It is not supposed to be used for *other* users.
If you really are willing to use that group for other purposes, you need to disassociate the group from the original user: $ ipa help group-detach Usage: ipa [global-options] group-detach GROUP-NAME [options] Detach a managed group from a user. Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit See RHEL IdM doucmentation. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html-single/linux_domain_identity_authentication_and_policy_guide/#user-private-groups -- / Alexander Bokovoy Sr. Principal Software Engineer Security / Identity Management Engineering Red Hat Limited, Finland _______________________________________________ FreeIPA-users mailing list -- freeipa-users@lists.fedorahosted.org To unsubscribe send an email to freeipa-users-le...@lists.fedorahosted.org
