feature request: group sudo

[Preston Taylor]

In sudoers you can specify to allow sudo for a group the same as a user by simply prepending the group name with a '%'.

For Example:
[root@server2 sudoers.d]# cat 90-cloud-init-users
# Created by cloud-init v. 19.4 on Tue, 20 Apr 2021 01:07:17 +0000

# User rules for cloud-user
cloud-user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

# Group rules for mygroup
%mygroup ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

To my knowledge his can be handled in exactly the same manner that cloud-init already handles users' sudo.

This is a valid use case, and a feature we could add.
