\
     This command is to list groups in which the subsystem user is a member.

**pki** \[*CLI-options*\] **lt;subsystemgt;-user-membership-add** *user-ID* *group-ID* \[*command-options*\]\
\
     This command is to add the subsystem user into a group.

## OPTIONS

The CLI options are described in **[pki(1)](/pki/1.md)**.

## OPERATIONS

To view available user membership commands, type **pki lt;subsystemgt;-user-membership**. To view each command's usage, type **pki lt;subsystemgt;-user-membership-lt;commandgt; --help**.

All user membership commands must be executed as the subsystem administrator.

For example, to list groups in which a CA user is a member execute the following command:

```
$ pki <CA admin authentication> ca-user-membership-find testuser
```

The results can be paged by specifying the (0-based) index of the first entry to return and the maximum number of entries returned:

```
$ pki <CA admin authentication> ca-user-membership-find testuser --start 20 --size 10
```

The above command will return entries #20 to #29.

To add a CA user into a group, specify the user ID and the group ID in the following command:

```
$ pki <CA admin authentication> ca-user-membership-add testuser Administrators
```

To delete a CA user from a group, specify the user ID and the group ID in the following command:

```
$ pki <CA admin authentication> ca-user-membership-del testuser Administrators
```
