- <para>In Samba 2.0.5 and above this parameter has extended
- functionality in the following way. If the group name listed here
- has a '+' character prepended to it then the current user accessing
- the share only has the primary group default assigned to this group
- if they are already assigned as a member of that group. This allows
- an administrator to decide that only users who are already in a
- particular group will create files with group ownership set to that
- group. This gives a finer granularity of ownership assignment. For
- example, the setting <filename moreinfo="none">force group = +sys</filename> means
- that only users who are already in group sys will have their default
- primary group assigned to sys when accessing this Samba share. All
- other users will retain their ordinary primary group.</para>
