Account groups

Account provider group specifies all users that are allowed to create an account for respective provider. They are not created inside this package but instead they have a specific format and are created by account packages themselves.

There is a script for managing these groups. If you want that to limit an account provider to arbitrary users, see scripts/manage-groups.sh script for more instructions. If account provider is limited to a group that is already listed in this file instead, you don't need to create account provider group but you should still specify the needed group within account provider configuration.
