[Solved] Can a user manage a group ?

[SpongeB0B]

Hi everyone,

is there a way to assign admin right for a group ? meaning that this user will be able to add, remove membership of this group ?

Thanks

Generally it's a root function.
There is always sudo, and the "wheel" group.
The other option is... every user has their own group when they get created.
User bob ahas a group called bob.
You can do some things with that group.
usermod -g john bob

Thank you @dos2unix , but I've found what I was looking for ->

gpasswd(1): administer /etc/group//etc/gshadow - Linux man page

The gpasswd command is used to administer /etc/group, and /etc/gshadow. Every group can have administrators, members and a password.
