Groups

Users with similar privileges are grouped together. The purpose of a group is to define settings for the group as whole rather than each individual user. Permissions that apply to the group are inherited by its users.

By assigning a role to a group, all users in the group will inherit the permissions granted to the role. You do not have to add the users to the role individually.
