How do I see Samba groups?

Question

How can I see all groups in my Samba server? If possible, with users who belong to that group.

To list Samba domain groups:

sudo samba-tool group list

If you want to see member users from a Group:

sudo samba-tool group listmembers "Domain Admins"

Answer 2

Groups within samba are mapped over from the normal Unix groups used on your system. You can view these with the command.

sudo cat /etc/group

Answer 3

If you are using Samba 4's Active Directory you should use the net command:

net rpc group list

To get a group's members list use:

net rpc group members GROUPNAME

To obtain help on the group command:

net group
