Default Primary Group on Accounts and Account Templates in the User Console

The default primary group of an NIS/ETC endpoint is populated to an account being created.

If an account is created from an account template, there are two scenarios in the Provisioning Manager.

1. Endpoint has a default primary group, the account is created successfully no matter whether the “primary group” field is blank or [default] in the account template.
2. Endpoint has no default primary group, the account creation fails if “primary group” attribute is [default] unless the attribute is configured with another group name in the account template.

In the User Console, the primary group in an account template is either blank or a real group name. This is the same as the above with the same behaviors on Provisioning Server.
