Rights and permissions

I need to get some better advice for this subject.

Super user, we assume having this privilege supersedes all rights and
privileges, is this correct statement.

Group rights and individual rights. Do the group rights supersede individual
rights and privileges or is it the other way around.

Thanks in advance

I believe so.

Neither - they act like a logical OR. If a user has a right, through either an individual right or a group right, then they will have that right. I basically avoid using individual user rights altogether; on anything beyond a very small setup it becomes unmanageable. I always create an admincc group for each queue, for example, and give users rights to that queue by changing their group membership.
