Modifies the user group with name group.

-A, --admin-add=list: Add users in comma-separated list among group's administrators.

-M, --member-add=list: Add users in comma-separated list among group's members.
-m, --member-remove=list: Remove users in comma-separated list from group's members. Removing users that are not currently among group's members silently succeeds.
-n, --name=name: Rename group to name.
-P, --plainpassword=password: Set group's password to password. Note that the password can be viewed while running lgroupmod using tools such as ps(1).
-p, --password=encrypted: Set group's password to the password represented by the hash encrypted. Note that the hash can be viewed while running lgroupmod using tools such as ps(1).
-U, --unlock: Unlock group.
