-<samba:parameter name="force group"
- context="S"
- xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
-<listitem>
- <para>This specifies a UNIX group name that will be
- assigned as the default primary group for all users connecting
- to this service. This is useful for sharing files by ensuring
- that all access to files on service will use the named group for
- their permissions checking. Thus, by assigning permissions for this
- group to the files and directories within this service the Samba
- administrator can restrict or allow sharing of these files.</para>
-
- <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>
-
- <para>If the <link linkend="FORCEUSER"><parameter moreinfo="none">force user</parameter>
- </link> parameter is also set the group specified in
- <parameter moreinfo="none">force group</parameter> will override the primary group
- set in <parameter moreinfo="none">force user</parameter>.</para>
