Every users belongs to one or several groups (ex: root, admin, user,
www-user, staff).

/etc/groups has the information on how much privilege each groups has.
A user gets the privileges of the group(s) user belongs to.

`man groups` has little detail.
`info groups` details it all.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
