asgroup

NAME

asgroup — Run a program with another group's permissions

SYNOPSIS

asgroup group [command]

DESCRIPTION

Asgroup changes the effective group ID of the user to the specified group while running command. If no command was specified, an interactive Shell will be started, either using the program defined by the SHELL environment variable, or /bin/sh if SHELL is not defined. Asgroup will only permit execution to proceed if either:

• The user is part of the specified group; or
• The command's group is the one specified, and it has the set group ID bit enabled [see chmod(1)], and the user has execute access to the command.
  All attempts (both successful and not) are logged to an audit trail.
