Authorization service on UNIX systems

 

On these platforms:

Principal

Is a UNIX system user ID, or an ID associated with an application program running on behalf of a user.

Group

Is a UNIX system-defined collection of principals.

Authorizations can be granted or revoked at the group level only. A request to grant or revoke a user's authority updates the primary group for that user.
