Today, an internal workflow allows a user to create a share for a group (groupfolder).
The group creation is done in our LDAP, and once the group created, a script triggers on Nextcloud side the creation of the share.
The existence of the group can be chacked via a occ ldap :search --group myGroup.
The group then exists on Nextcloud side, but isn't populated: we then set permissions on an empty group, users seeing the group only once the group content had been updated by the Cron job.

Describe the solution you'd like
A command occ ldap: group-update myGroup (or a group content feeding when a occ ldap :search --group command if the group wouldn't be referenced) would then make our process "immediate".

like occ ldap:check-group --fetch $GROUPNAME or occ ldap:check-group --update $GROUPID

A similar demand exists to force the sync of a specific LDAP user : #27948

It was merged in master and will be in 28, I forgot to link the PR to the issue.
It will be a new ldap:check-group command inspired by the ldap:check-user command. Documentation is not there yet.
