  1. users are the group members which will get all the group privileges. The model behind is res.users. Example: Users in the group sales manager will see the sales configuration menu.

  2. implied_ids are inherited group privileges. A group which inherits other groups, will get all the other groups rights in top of their own. The model behind is res.groups. Example: The group sales manager will inherit all rights from group see all leads which also implies the rights from group see own leads.
