The Group module in Drupal is a powerful way of collecting together users and content under a single entity. These arbitrary collections of entities in a Drupal site can be used for editor teams within your site or company subscriptions where users can manage themselves, or anything that requires groups of users to be created.
During a recent project that used the Group module I found myself digging deeper into the Groups permissions system in order to achieve certain tasks. This is a similar permission system to that already created in Drupal, with the exception that the permission always forms a link between a Group and a user, and an optional additional entity. Permissions being local to the group is useful if you want to create groups of users that had access to pages and other entities that are kept within the group.
