Indeed that. *And* that the process will run as a certain user. For example 
there could be the following config:

group 'www' contains users 'www' (non-login account) 'ernst' and 'sheldon'

Both 'ernst' and 'sheldon' must be able to start any of the application 
servers and then the application server will run as user 'www'.
