Group_Assignments Table

Can someone explain how the column ug_grp_id is used? My current understanding of ug_main_grp_id and ug_uid is that the user ID specified in ug_uid is a member of the group specified in ug_main_grp_id. Is ug_grp_id used to assign members and rights of that group (ug_grp_id) to ug_main_grp_id?

Just like with individuals, you can also assign one or more groups into another group. Everyone in the former groups would inherit the permissions of the latter group. I think ug_grp_id is used to help show this relationship.

For example, say you created a Gadget Group with a group id number of 50, and you want all Root users to be part of it. The ug_main_grp_id would be 50 representing the Gadget Group and the ug_grp_id would be 1 which is the group id number for Root.

I'm not sure if I used the right words to explain this. In the example I used, the Root users would belong and inherit all the permissions of the Gadget Group, but those who are members of Gadget would not inherit Root permissions. If multiple groups are added to Gadget, they do not inherit each others permissions. They only inherit the permissions of the group to which they are added.

So the relationship is the other direction. ug_grp_id inherits the rights of ug_main_grp_id.

Thanks
