This PR adds an OS user to an existing OS group. This feature is used to further restrict sudo privileges by limiting them to runas members of a specific group only. Here is an example :
The USER_GROUP variable have
otusersas value. The USER_PREFIX haveot_as value. The service run asopenterminaluser. My sudoers file is the following.The service's privileges are constrained on two fronts:
This ensures the service cannot gain unrestricted root access or impersonate arbitrary users, significantly limiting its attack surface. I also constrained the systemd service, but this is out of scope of this PR and doesn't require patch.
