A user without login privilege is usally called a group and is used for
bundling privileges that you can grant granting the role to individual
users. This helps you to keep more order and structure in your DB
privileges.
You may also have a user that can login and for whatever reason must be
restricted access for a certain time.

See above.

Yes, you use it as a group.
