Historically TrueNAS has done little to limit the changes admins can make to builtin groups (root, sssd, ntp, sudo, etc). This usually isn't problematic because admins know enough to not alter builtin groups. This is because changes to them can cause undefined system behavior, including introducing security vulnerabilities. This commit introduces additional validation to prevent problematic changes to these special system groups.
