Group

Group is a named collection of user or group identifiers. It can have permissions assigned to them directly or via the group membership, but cannot be authenticated.

Description

You can use user groups to specify permissions for a collection of users, which makes permissions easier to manage for those users. When you grant a permission to a group, all of the users (and groups) in the group are granted that permission (by transitive rule).
