My first thought was that groups were a way to quickly give people a certain amount of access.
For example,
Privates get permission "A and B"
Corporals get permission "A B and C"
Sergeants get permission "A B C and D"
So instead of assigning each Pvt, Cpl, Sgt the individual permissions, you just add each one to the "Privates" usergroup (or "Corporals" or "Sergeants") and they have those permissions as you defined when creating the groups.
But when I do this, the admins actually have no permissions. It seems the groups do absolutely nothing. What am I doing wrong?
