  - ### isMember

    public boolean isMember(Principal p)
    Description copied from interface: `GroupPrincipal`
    Returns true if the passed principal is a member of the group. This method does a recursive search, so if a principal belongs to a group which is a member of this group, true is returned.
    Specified by:
      `isMember` in interface `GroupPrincipal`
    Parameters:
      `p` - the principal whose membership is to be checked.
    Returns:
      true if the principal is a member of this group, false otherwise.

  - ### addMember

    public boolean addMember(Principal p)
    Description copied from interface: `GroupPrincipal`
    Adds the specified member to the group.
    Specified by:
      `addMember` in interface `GroupPrincipal`
    Parameters:
      `p` - the principal to add to this group.
    Returns:
      true if the member was successfully added, false if the principal was already a member.

  - ### members

    public Enumeration<? extends Principal> members()
    Description copied from interface: `GroupPrincipal`
    Returns an enumeration of the members in the group. The returned objects can be instances of either Principal or Group (which is a subclass of Principal).
    Specified by:
      `members` in interface `GroupPrincipal`
    Returns:
      an enumeration of the group members.

  - ### removeMember

    public boolean removeMember(Principal p)
    Description copied from interface: `GroupPrincipal`
    Removes the specified member from the group.
    Specified by:
      `removeMember` in interface `GroupPrincipal`
    Parameters:
      `p` - the principal to remove from this group.
    Returns:
      true if the principal was removed, or false if the principal was not a member.

  - ### equals

    public boolean equals(Object obj)
    Specified by:
      `equals` in interface `Principal`
    Overrides:
      `equals` in class `SimplePrincipal`
