[chef] Re: Remove a user from a group?

[Peter Loron < >]

Hi, AJ. From my reading of the group docs (URL below), I'm only seeing the ability to specify the complete set of users in a group, not the specific user to remove. If true, in order to remove a user from a group, I would need to know the list of all users in the group first, which I do not have. I could probably gin up a way to get that list, but it seems very broken to be able to add a specific user, but not remove one…

Since I'm on the topic, is there any clarification between what the "manage" and "modify" actions do?

You can :manage the entire group and remove a user from the 'members' attribute.

Hello. I'm working with the "group" provider, and I can see how to add a user to a local group. However, I don't see a clean way to remove a user from a group. My Google-fu has failed me. Can anybody shed some light on this? Thanks.
