sudo groupmod -g 1012 demo1

sudo usermod --append --groups demo user1

sudo usermod -aG demo user2

Look in the /etc/group file or use the id command to confirm your changes:

-f (Force Deletion): rm prompts for confirmation removal if a file is write protected. The -f option overrides this minor protection and removes the file forcefully.
