Groups are used to combine several similar system objects (Users, Devices etc.) to make batch operations more convenient. It is very easy to execute an operation over all objects in a group. Groups also provide an easy way to set similar settings to all group members or automatically replicate configuration changes between them.
Another feature of groups is integration with the Common Data facility that allows to have "master" values of group member properties. Changes of master value are automatically applied to all group members.
