+If userid and groupid text is still too vague, then consider roles:

+opkg This is the use/group set that would be used by normal users on

+ package were accounting related data that should only be
+ accessible from the accounting group, the top level directory
+ might have 750 permissions restricting access to people in that

+ This group would only have write access in the appropriate data
+ areas necessary to run the software.

+opkg-root This is the manager with full read/write permissions throughout
+ the opkg tree.

+opkg-devel Developer access which would have read/write access to

+ %{l_prefix}/RPM/DB where they would only have read access.
