Attributes
alias value
Used with the create and modify operations the value of this attribute is either yes or no. Although each
group can have only primary one name, it can have one or more alias names. All aliases refer to the same group, and therefore carry the same Universal Unique Identifier (UUID) and group identifier
(GID). While aliases refer to the same group, they are separate entries in the registry database. Therefore, the name supplied to the group command can refer to the group's primary name or
alias name. The value of this attribute determines whether name is the primary name (alias no) or an alias name (alias yes). The default is no.
gid integer
Used with the create operation, to specify the Group Identifier. If this attribute is not present, then an identifier is assigned to the group
automatically.
uuid hexadecimal number
Used with the create operation to adopt an orphaned UUID. Normally the UUID for a new group is generated by the registry. In cases
where data exists tagged with a UUID of a group that has been deleted from the registry, this attribute can be used with the create operation to specify the old UUID for a new group. The
UUID specified must be an orphan, that is, a UUID for which no name exists in the registry. An error occurs if you specify a name that is already defined in the registry. If this attribute is not
present, a UUID is assigned to the group automatically.
fullname string
Used with the create and modify operations tospecify the full name of the group to be added to the registry. The value is a string
with spaces enclosed in quotes or braces. The fullname attribute defaults to a null string (that is, blank).
inprojlist value
Used with the create and modify operations to include the group in the principal's project list. The value for this option is either
yes or no. If it is no, then members of this group do not acquire the access rights of this group. The default is yes.
