A SharePoint group is a collection of usernames and group names that can be given permissions to a SharePoint site or parts of a SharePoint site. Groups are defined for the entire site collection, but can be given permissions on any child site of the site collection.
SharePoint Groups can contain user names and groups from Active Directory or from a custom security provider.
There are three default SharePoint groups, the owners, members, and visitors of a site. These are called associated groups.
