## General

Each user is a member of at least one group: **this is their main group**.
Each user must have a group, which is called the user's **primary group**.

Several users can be part of the same group.

Users can belong to other groups. These users are *invited* to these **secondary groups**.
A group other than the primary group is called the user's **supplementary groups**.

!!! Note

Each user has a primary group and can be invited into one or more secondary groups.
Each user has a primary group and can be invited into one or more supplementary groups.

Groups and users are managed by their unique numerical identifiers `GID` and `UID`.
