In the event that what I wrote was ambiguous I just want to clarify what I was attempting
to say.
Installs of brlapi and brltty packaged by fedora (as early as F27) resulted in the
creation of the
brlapi group. It did not add any users to that group. I don't have the F27 rpm to
examine.
However, the group creation was most likely done by a post installation script the
packager
included in the rpm.
Just like, for example wireshark, it is up to someone with admin/root privileges to add
users
to a given group.
FWIW, the "groups" command can be used to list the current groups of a
user's current shell
environment.
