Question
Computer Extension for local group on mac and membership
+4
+11Basically listing all groups is "dscl . list /Groups" if you looking for particular group
if dscl . -read /Groups/"the_group_you_looking_for" &> /dev/null; then
echo "yup group exist"
else
echo "nope it does not exist."
fi
+26It would be better to ask what you are trying to do any why, what is the problem you are trying to solve? Jamf already natively reports on who is in the admin group, but do you really care who is a member of something like _appserverusr?

What we are looking to do is to create a local group on the computer and add the current logged in user. This group will be used for internal purposes. We would like to report this because it will not be on all computers and we would like to be able to see who has this group and who is assigned.
+11dscl command would be enough to perform what you want. you can use man dscl to see how to use it
