When systemd is configured with userdb and nss integration, it provides
group memberships in **addition** to those recorded in /etc/group. For
those additional memberships to be considered by nss, the group database
must be configured to merge the result from both /etc/group and the
systemd nss plugin.

[RB] Reference for the recommended configuration can be found at:
