An example

We want to add the user dbosk as teacher in the group

edu.courses.DD.DD1317.20232.1.teachers.

In Python, we would do

import kthutils.credentials
import kthutils.ug

ug = kthutils.ug.UGsession(*kthutils.credentials.get_credentials())

group = ug.find_group_by_name("edu.courses.DD.DD1317.20232.1.teachers")
user = ug.find_user_by_username("dbosk")

ug.add_group_members([user["kthid"]], group["kthid"])

In the shell, we would do

kthutils ug members add edu.courses.DD.DD1317.20232.1.teachers dbosk
