Check Text (C-216191r959010_chk)
The root role is required.
Check that group IDs are unique.

while read x ; do
[ -z "${x}" ] && break
set - $x
if [ $1 -gt 1 ]; then

If output is produced, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-17427r372956_fix)
The root role is required.
Work with each respective group owner to remediate this issue and ensure that the group ownership of their files are set to an appropriate value.
