An alias is usually just shorthand for a command.  For instance, if
don't feel like typing the entire word "clear" when you want to clear
the screen you might have an alias in your .bash_profile (or .bashrc)

alias cl="clear"

Then, when you type cl it will clear the screen.

Are the users defintely in the users group?  That is, if you have user
john and do

grep john /etc/group 

Do you get something back like 

users:*5:bob,mary,john
