I think a group can be interpreted somehow like a priviledge.
As such the statement to add or remove a user from a group
would be a "grant" statement.
The standard mutters something about "role"s
(again haven't looked it up)
I don't like the word role instead of group, but maybe if there
is a standard we should use it.
Informix and Oracle use the keyword role for groups,
and use grant/revoke to administer them.
