1  –  Parameters

 group-name

    Name of the group to add, delete, list, or modify. Wild cards can
    be used in conjunction with the /LIST qualifier.

 subgroup-name[,...]

    A comma separated list group names to associated with the group
    being added or modified. The listed groups will become subgroups
    of the group being added or modified.

2  –  Description

    The GROUP command is used to manipulate the popstore management
    groups. Only managers with either operating system privileges or
    a privileged popstore account with access to the WORLD group can
    use this command. In regards to the latter case, that means that
    the manager's account must have the MANAGE usage flag set and
    either have no group name associated with the account-the empty
    group-or be in a management group which contains as a subgroup
    the WORLD group. The one exception to this rule is that a manager
    can always use the /LIST qualifier to list their own management
    group and subgroups thereof.

3  –  Command Qualifiers

3.1    /ADD

    This qualifier indicates that a new management group is to be
    added. If a group already exists with the same name, then an
    error will be output.

3.2    /CONFIRM

       /CONFIRM
       /NOCONFIRM (default)

    Prompt for positive confirmation before carrying out the
    indicated operation. /NOCONFIRM is the default behavior.

3.3    /DELETE

    This qualifier indicates that the specified management group
    is to be deleted. Note that subgroups contained within the
    group are not deleted by default. Specify /RECUR to also
    delete any subgroups. Moreover, the actual accounts in the
    group are not deleted either. They can only be deleted with a
    DELETE/GROUP=GROUP_NAME * command.

3.4    /FORMAT_FILE

       /FORMAT_FILE=file-spec

    Specify a formatting file to use to format the output of
    GROUP/LIST command.

3.5    /LIST

    List the specified groups and subgroups. When this qualifier is
    used, the GROUP-NAME parameter can contain wild card characters.
    When the parameter is omitted, * is assumed.

3.6    /LOG

       /LOG
       /NOLOG (default)

    When the operation is successful, output a status message stating
    that the operation succeeded. Note that error messages are always
    indicated. /NOLOG is the default behavior.

3.7    /MODIFY

    Modify the specified group, replacing its list of subgroups with
    the specified list. If no list is specified, then the group is
    changed to contain no subgroups.

3.8    /OUTPUT

       /OUTPUT=file-spec

    Write the output to the specified file rather than to the
    terminal.

3.9    /PROMPT

       /PROMPT (default)
       /NOPROMPT

    By default if a wildcard is used, even if /NOCONFIRM is
    specified, one confirmation prompt is issued. If /NOPROMPT is
    specified, there is no prompting at all. This qualifier can be
    used in conjunction with the /ADD, /DELETE, or /MODIFY switches.

3.10    /RECUR

       /RECUR
       /NORECUR (default)

    This qualifier can be used in conjunction with /DELETE. By
    default, only the specified group is deleted. Subgroups of that
    group are not deleted unless /RECUR is also specified.
