Workgroups are mostly a Windows networking feature.

For non-Windows, your are likely looking at configuration files for
Samba (SMB protocol)

_Samba
Hmmm -- interesting, the config file on my R-Pi3 IS configured as
"WORKGROUP"

md_admin@microdiversity:~$ cat /etc/samba/smb.conf

# Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.

# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part
of
workgroup = WORKGROUP
# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:

OTOH; I don't believe I have Samba running on that device (it does not
show up in the Win10 Network list -- whereas the R-Pi3 running the Pi-Star
software DOES appear under "WORKGROUP"; going to see what happens if I edit
the config to my IMPERIUM group and reboot)
