As I understand it if I run the command gpasswd -A username directoryname
I assign administrator privileges to username
for the directory directoryname
. This means that username
is able to add new members to the group for directoryname
without root privileges. Does this also mean that username
belongs to the group or do I need to add username
to the group using the commands usermod
, gpasswd -a
or gpasswd -M
