              2. Groups Vs Roles
                1. group is a collection of users and is really a vehicle to simplify the administration of user's access rights.
                  1. role is a collection of access rights (or permissions) and hence pertains to what users are permitted to do. The concept of a role fits very well into a hierarchical organisation.
