PAM_GROUP(8) BSD System Manager's Manual PAM_GROUP(8)NAMEpam_group — Group PAM module
SYNOPSIS
[service-name] module-type control-flag pam_group [arguments]
DESCRIPTION
The group service module for PAM accepts or rejects users based on their
membership in a particular file group.
The following options may be passed to the pam_group module:
deny Reverse the meaning of the test, i.e., reject the applicant if
and only if he or she is a member of the specified group.
This can be useful to exclude certain groups of users from
certain services.
fail_safe If the specified group does not exist, or has no members, act
as if it does exist and the applicant is a member.
group=groupname
Specify the name of the group to check. The default is
“wheel”.
root_only Skip this module entirely if the target account is not the
superuser account.
