Admin groups are groups from Microsoft Entra ID that should have administrator access on the device. These groups are used to grant elevated permissions to specific users
Additional groups are custom groups you’d like to create in the device’s local directory. These groups can be used to organize users and apply specific settings or permissions
User groups are particularly useful, allowing you to map specific macOS system rights to custom groups created in the local directory. For example, you can use user groups to grant ‘sudo’ access or manage printer permissions
