the groups: option of users_accounts) you must also use users_groups to
add the group to the system.
Additional Options
See the linconf.users documentation for a full list of available options.
Optionally, this role has 3 lists for users, and 3 lists for groups. This can be useful in situations where groups of hosts share the same users.

The master branch is continuously validated by Travis-CI.
Minor versions indicate the role passed local testing as described by the
.kitchen declaration. Instructions for performing test-kitchen runs locally
are detailed in the LinConf Documentation.
