s.n.g.cmd_group_add_members(Command) : class documentation

This command adds one or more members to an existing Active Directory group. The command accepts one or more group member names seperated by commas. A group member may be a user or computer account or another Active Directory group.

When a member is added to a group the member may inherit permissions and rights from the group. Likewise, when permission or rights of a group are changed, the changes may reflect in the members through inheritance.

Example1: samba-tool group addmembers supergroup Group1,Group2,User1 -H ldap://samba.samdom.example.com -Uadministrator%passw0rd

Example1 shows how to add two groups, Group1 and Group2 and one user account, User1, to the existing AD group named supergroup. The command will be run on a remote server specified with the -H. The -U parameter is used to pass the userid and password of a user authorized to issue the command on the remote server.

Example2: sudo samba-tool group addmembers supergroup User2

Example2 shows how to add a single user account, User2, to the supergroup AD group. It uses the sudo command to run as root when issuing the command.
