authctl group delete

Delete a group managed by authd

Synopsis

Delete a group from the authd database.

Warning: Deleting a group that still owns files on the filesystem can lead to security issues.

Any existing files owned by this group may become accessible to a different group that is later assigned the same GID. You should manually check that no files remain owned by this group. The command must be run as root.
