I written down what I understand from user and groups here https://github.com/keesj/gomo/wiki/AndroidUserAndGroups you might find it useful or not. My understanding of the "system" user is that it is a user that was given very broad set of permissions( by using capabilities and user/group settings on files) but not the typical "all" permissions the root user will get. Making a service part of a group broadens it's permissions.
