title: About the group Resource
---
# group
Use the `group` InSpec audit resource to test groups on the system.
# Syntax
A `group` resource block declares a group, and then the details to be tested, such as if the group is a local group, the group identifier, or if the group exists:
describe group('group_name') do
it { should exist }
its('gid') { should eq 0 }
end
where
* `'group_name'` must specify the name of a group on the system
* `exist` and `'gid'` are valid matchers for this resource
# Matchers
This InSpec audit resource has the following matchers:
## be
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_be" %>
## be_local
The `be_local` matcher tests if the group is a local group:
it { should be_local }
## cmp
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_cmp" %>
## eq
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_eq" %>
## exist
The `exist` matcher tests if the named user exists:
it { should exist }
## gid
The `gid` matcher tests the named group identifier:
its('gid') { should eq 1234 }
## include
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_include" %>
## match
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_match" %>
# Examples
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
## Test the group identifier for the root group
describe group('root') do
it { should exist }
its('gid') { should eq 0 }
end
