Not true.
Linux desktop security is based on a number of different factors.
Obviously /etc/groups is one of them, applied by udev for the underlying
permission of the device. Policy is that users aren't nominally added
to these groups and instead they are for system daemons to access.
Additional layers include PolicyKit/ConsoleKit which can apply
permissions to users on the system console, see the "Authorizations"
control panel in System->Administration for various access applied in
this way
** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu)
Status: In Progress => Won't Fix
