# groups
|
|
|
|
Use the `groups` InSpec audit resource to test multiple groups on the system.
|
|

|
|
|
## Availability
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
This resource is distributed along with InSpec itself. You can use it automatically.
|
|
|
|
### Version
|
|
|
|
This resource first became available in v1.0.0 of InSpec.
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
A `groups` resource block uses `where` to filter entries from the systems groups. If `where` is omitted, all entries are selected.
|
|
|
|
describe groups do
|
|
its('names') { should eq ['wheel', 'daemon', 'sys', 'adm'] }
|
|
its('names') { should include 'wheel' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
describe groups.where { members =~ /root/ } do
|
|
its('names') { should eq ['wheel', 'daemon', 'sys', 'adm'] }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
