IUSR_SERVER & Users [group] question

I'm a bit at a loss when it comes to what kind of a connection does the Internet Guest Account have with the Users group.

Setting up the NTFS security permissions on my website root folder doesn't seem to work correctly if I exclude the Users group. I've thought that I only need to set permissions on the Internet guest account but it just doesn't work without the Users group.

I must admit I'm not an employee anywhere what I do is driven by my need to create something, sort of like this little website project I'm working on right now.

In any case I'm a bit confused as to why I have to set up proper permissions for both IUSR and Users group for everything to work correctly.

Can anyone explain what kind of attention should I pay when setting up security for Users group?

Thank you.
