Groups in Office 365 let you choose a set of people that you wish to collaborate with and easily set up a collection of resources for those people to share - such as emails, files, and calendar data. You don’t have to worry about manually assigning permissions to all those resources because adding members to the group automatically gives them the permissions they need to the tools your group provides.
Group Docs (gDocs)
Enabling this checkbox grants the user author status and access to the Documents tab in the KB User's Guide. Users can create new documents for the group and edit any document that belongs to your group.
Users cannot edit documents with custom write restrictions unless they have authorization.This setting combined with the three permissions of iKB, oDocs and gdocs forms what is known as "basic author permissions"
