Hi@MD,

On Linux, group information is held in the /etc/group file. You can use commands to create a group, add a user to a group, display a list of the users who are in the group, and remove a user from a group. To create a group you can use the below command.

$ groupadd mygroup


Hope it helps!

Thanks.
