Users and groups in the LHCb Online system

Standard Unix groups are used for filesystem permissions. Each user has one of these as her primary group:

admin:!:1003:
calo:!:1009:
gcs:!:1007
hlt:!:1006:
lb:!:1008:
muon:!:1010:
online:!:1000:
ot:!:1004:
rich:!:1002:
st:!:1005:
trg:!:1011:
velo:!:1001:
