Linux: Find Out My Group Name [ Group Memberships ]

To find out your group name (group membership) on a Linux system, you can use the id command.

The id command is a utility that displays user and group information for the current user.

To display group information for the current user, you can use the -ng option with the id command. For example:

id -ng
Sou‮cr‬e:www.lautturi.com

This will display the group name (group membership) for the current user.

You can also use the groups command to display the group names (group memberships) for the current user. For example:

groups

This will display a list of group names (group memberships) for the current user.

You can find more information about the id and groups commands and their options in the Linux documentation or by running the id --help and groups --help commands.

Keep in mind that a user can belong to multiple groups on a Linux system. The id and groups commands will display all the group memberships for the current user.
