Look out for the following files:

/etc/passwd and /etc/group

Hope this helps!

Code:
grep '^prog' /etc/group

groups will simply list out the groups avalaible on the system. It won't give you the members associated with them.

Grepping on /etc/group with the desired group name would do the trick.
