How to make user groups and edit permissions?

OK guys and gals.

I've been working on a debian system for a little bit, in hopes of making it into a system we can use for manifests and other things.

I am very new to unix, particularly debian.

I would like to make 2 or 3 different groups.

1 would be for me, and other people administrating. I figured I could either use root or the normal user for this.

The 2nd would be for people who needed to update the manifest. IE, If they took out 300 sand bags, they would need to be able to input that they had took out 300. This needs to link to my PC upstairs, and display the amounts of each item left, how many are currently out, who took them out, when they are expected back in, and where they are going.

The 3rd would be for people who were going to need to access the system remotely. I was thinking of using VMware?

Before I make the program for the manifests, I need to make the groups.

1 for me, 1 for people inputting data and 1 for people who are more experienced than me so that they can use VMware to remotely connect and do things like witchcraft and magic, and other bits.

I was looking for what people recommend they should have access to, and how to edit their permissions. IE, should people down stairs just have access to my program or what?

I may post more things later, as the machine is built Smilie

Any help appreciated.
