With so little information given, there isn't much that we can say other than that someone who knows the appropriate password or has the appropriate privileges was logged in at the time the change was made. You say that many things started failing all of a sudden. That is the time at which it happened.

What manager is responsible for the group from which that user was removed? Did that manager ask/authorize that user to be removed from that group? Was that user transferred to a different group? Was that user fired?

Other than that user being unable to run jobs requiring the privileges of that group ID, is anyone other than that user unable to run any code that they need to run? If so, why? I.e., why are other users trying to run code as another user instead of using their own accounts? Why aren't their user IDs in the group if they need to run code that requires privileges to run code that affects projects owned by that group?

install

install(1)						      General Commands Manual							install(1)

Name
       install - install binaries

Syntax
       install [-c] [-m mode] [-o owner] [-g group] [-s] binary destination

Description
       The  binary  is moved to destination.  If destination already exists, it is removed before binary is moved.  If the destination is a direc-
       tory then binary is moved into the destination directory with its original file-name.

       The command refuses to move a file onto itself.

Options
       -c		   Copies binary to destination.

       -g group 	   Specifies a different group from group staff for destination.  The destination is changed to group system; the -g group
			   option  may	be used to specify a different group.  The user must belong to the specified group and be the owner of the
			   file or the superuser.

       -m mode		   Specifies a different mode from the standard 755 for destination.

       -o owner 	   Specifies a different owner from owner root for destination.  The destination is changed  to  current  owner.   The	-o
			   owner option may be used to specify a different owner, but only the superuser can change the owner.

       -s		   Strips the binary after it is installed.
