p4 groups

List groups of users.

Syntax

p4 [g-opts] groups [-m max] [-v] [group]
p4 [g-opts] groups [-m max] [-i [-v]] user | group
p4 [g-opts] groups [-m max] [-g | -u | -o] name

The p4 groups command shows a list, in alphabetical order, of all current group names.

The p4 groups user commands show the groups containing that user.

The p4 groups group command lists the groups for which group is a subgroup. (See the subgroup field of the p4 group form.)

The -i option with a user argument shows all the groups the user belongs to, including by membership in a subgroup.

The -i option with a group argument is equivalent to the p4 groups group command.

The -m max option limits the output to the first max groups.

The p4 -ztag groups displays tagged output, which includes the Description field, among other fields of p4 group.

The "MaxLimit" fields are MaxResults, MaxScanRows, MaxLockTime, MaxOpenFiles, MaxMemory, and Timeout.

To display the values for the "MaxLimit" fields, use p4 groups -v for all groups, or p4 groups -v groupname for the specified group.
For the list of commands that are affected by any the "MaxLimit" fields, see the output of the p4 help maxresults command.
