Forces the use of "local" command alternatives on platforms that implement it. This is useful in environments that use centralized authentification when you want to manipulate the local groups. I.E. it uses `lgroupadd` instead of `useradd`.
This requires that these commands exist on the targeted host, otherwise it will be a fatal error.

|
|
state
-
|
|
Whether the group should be present or not on the remote host.
