Managing Groups

1 min read · system

Check which groups you are in, and which are available:

1cat /etc/group
2groups
3cat /etc/group | grep $USER

Remove yourself from all groups, and add yourself back to only wheel, audio, and your own group:

1sudo usermod --groups wheel,audio,$USER

Add yourself to the wheel group:

1su root -c "usermod --append --groups wheel $USER"

Add yourself to the network group:

1sudo usermod -aG network $USER

The changes will not take effect until you log in again, so reboot or log into localhost with ssh.
