I am working on a fix for a piece of software where the provider suggests we should create a user group with dscl and then grant the group ownership of a folder.
Users in our environment are on macOS 12+.
So far, I am using zsh to determine $LIVEUSER and running the following:
dscl . create /groups/appname
dscl . -append /groups/appname GroupMembership $LIVEUSER
This does not seem to be working as intended. The command returns with no errors, and when I run:
dscacheutil -q group -a name appname
The command finishes with no output. Running something like:
dscacheutil -q group -a name admin
Returns the name, password, gid, and users within the group.
How can I use dscl to create a group and add a user to that group successfully?
