Use this task to create a PowerHA® SystemMirror user group
for the cluster.
Groups are collections of users who share access
authority to protected resources.
You can define groups for users who access
the same applications or hardware, perform the same tasks, or have
similar requirements for accessing PowerHA SystemMirror tasks
and information.

mark ("), pound sign (#), comma (,), equal sign (=), forward slash
