Description: A user group is a collection of user accounts that can be collectively managed for access control. This structure allows system and network administrators to efficiently organize and manage permissions and access privileges to shared resources such as files, applications, and devices. By grouping users with similar needs, security management is simplified, and resource administration is optimized. For example, in various environments, user groups can be created for different teams or departments, each with access to the specific resources they need to perform their work. Additionally, user groups can facilitate the implementation of security policies, as configurations and restrictions can be applied to the entire group rather than to each individual user. This not only saves time but also reduces the risk of errors in permission configuration. User group management is a fundamental feature in many operating systems and platforms, allowing administrators to maintain effective control over system access and security. Multifactor authentication and account management also benefit from this structure, as they allow for greater flexibility and security in user administration.
