Hi,

in the core module user I could specify the user id with the option “uid”. The primary group instead could only be set by name. I like to have the option to specify the primary group by “gid” as well.

The possibillity to specify further groups by name or gid with the option “groups” would be great, too.

Maybe some other people like this idea, too. And the features could be implemented in a future release.

Kind regards,  
Joerg K.
