man pages are your friend:

Code:

man gpasswd # Find the option you need to use
gpasswd -d username

Yes, but the command gpasswd -d username group , just remove the user from being a member of this group. i want to remove the user from being able to administer this group, to prevent him from adding/deleting members of the group.

Either delete by hand the user from /etc/gshadow, or use:

Code:

gpasswd -A "" groupname
