I want certain files to be only editable by teachers for example. If 
there would be a standard group to assign to teachers then, there would 
never be a situation where all teachers are assigned to groupa but a 
package expects them to be assigned to groupb and you would need need to 
add all teachers to that group too.
I will let my package create extra groups in case they are still needed 
of course, but it would be nice if the permissions would automaticly be 
correct on systems that already have groups set up for this.
Thanks in advance,
