Are you sure that you can nest a group within another in "/etc/group"?

I goofed the syntax.   You use @ in front of groups

libvirt:x:977:root:@users

Why not read the man page?

$ man 5 group

DESCRIPTION
         The  /etc/group file is a text file that defines the groups on
         the system.  There is one entry per line, with the following
         format:

             group_name:password:GID:user_list

         The fields are as follows:

...

         user_list   a  list  of  the  usernames that are members of this
                     group, separated by commas.


So the line for libvirt in /etc/group should be:

libvirt:x:977:todd,user1,user2,...


Several of us did, including me.

Did you find @group in the man page anywhere?  I only
remembered it off the top of my head.

No, there don't exist any variable like "@group" in /etc/group. The data
in /etc/group lines where format is:

group_name:password:GID:user_list

It has been in over 40 years in Unix and ever since Linux where born.

Yet it somehow got rid of pol kit prompt with virt-manager
