kasutajagruppidel

Kasutajagruppidel is an Estonian grammatical form used in documentation and text to refer to the user groups in the plural adessive, roughly translating to “on the user groups.” In practical terms, the phrase is common in contexts describing settings, permissions or policies that apply to groups of users rather than to individual users. It highlights a group-based perspective on access and responsibility.

In computing, a user group is a collection of user accounts that share common permissions. Groups simplify access control by allowing administrators to assign rights to the group as a whole, with each member inheriting those rights. A user may belong to multiple groups, enabling flexible and scalable permission management across files, services and devices. Operating systems implement groups in various ways, ranging from simple local groups to complex directory-based group structures.

Administrators typically manage groups to enforce security and operational efficiency. Linux and Unix-like systems use group files and commands such as groupadd, groupdel and usermod for group administration and membership changes. Windows environments use Local Users and Groups or Active Directory to define groups and assign permissions. In documentation, phrases like kasutajagruppidel appear when describing how a setting or policy applies to all members of one or more groups.
