I've added a sentence or two to help explain the difference here: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data_access#Access_Groups
While I agree that the names themselves could be better, changing them now would be a huge amount of work for not much gain. There are actually a lot of limitations we run into with our posix group based server access rules. Maybe one day we'll have the bandwidth to do a huge server access refactor using LDAP or something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
