Could you please refer me to the relevant redhat docs? Hopefully an url?
I understand groups somewhat, but Im certainly not a power user of groups.
Right now I use groups to give users access to certain classes of
programs, or even to individual programs, on a case by case basis. Is
this the correct way to use groups? Am I missing something?

Yes, I am very curious why every user needs their own "group"...
