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
I hate to repeat myself. But, not for me. So, I think you've done more than
just that.
Anyway, this is a dead horse.
I would love to know the answer to the mystery.
I do work a lot in the Windows world. I get a lot of
"it works for me" from tech support, typically if I
am the first on reporting a problem. It is very
annoying. I like to figure out what is causing what.
I like solving these kinds of puzzles.
