How to make User Field Type to restrict to SharePoint group using CAML Query (PowerShell)

Question

How to make User Field Type to restrict to SharePoint group using CAML Query, PowerShell.

$fieldXMLString = '<Field Type="User"
Name="'+$fieldName+'"
DisplayName="Primary Site Owner"
StaticName="'+$fieldName+'"
Group="'+$group+'"
UserSelectionMode="PeopleOnly"
Required="TRUE">
</Field>'

In the above code, I need to add another property which will point to SharePoint group. By doing this my control will be limited to a set of people.

This should be similar to SharePoint Choose from option using GUI. Regards, Vikrant

You can use UserSelectionScope="GroupID" attribute to specify a group. GroupID is a group ID (integer).

You can see property description on the MSDN field schema description page
