System administrator added me to a group but I don't see the effects yet. For example,

> groups # does not return the desired group

I (and all other users) only have the ssh login option to connect to the machine (su <self> is not option since I have locked password). It is a shared cluster so re-booting is not an option.

Do I have any other options apart from logging out and logging in again?

    Either logout/login (group membership is set at login) or, to get one process in the new group, newgrp will do it. Read man newgrp. Commented Sep 25, 2021 at 0:32
  • @roaima I have used exit/logout / cmd + c commands to logout, countless times. I also pkill -u <myself> but it is also not worked. Am I missing something very basic to logout ? Commented Sep 27, 2021 at 3:33

You say that you can only get to the remote system(s) with ssh. So if you logon and you haven't got the new group then it's not been added to your account.

  • you are indeed correct, it turns out that I added for another node's group. Commented Sep 28, 2021 at 11:55
