How to add user of jenkins container(jenkins) in group(users) inside container itself?

When I access my container:

jenkins@bc145b8cfc1d:/$ docker ps

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host?

jenkins@bc145b8cfc1d:/$ whoami
jenkins
jenkins@9cdb24cf71f2:/$ usermod -G users jenkins
ERROR : usermod: Permission denied.**

You can execute a bash command inside a container as a different user. In this case you can run from your host:

docker exec -it --user root <container id> usermod -G users jenkins

or you can enter the container interactively and execute any commands as root as follows:

docker exec -it --user root <container id> bash

and then:

root@9cdb24cf71f2:/$ usermod -G users jenkins

Note: The solution above assumes that the group users exists.
