Using Groups with Xcode Server

We were having some weird problems with getting xcode server to build stuff properly on Yosemite, and this is what my friend figured out. (Just lazily copy/pasting from Slack):

FYI, in case you ever run into this, putting the build daemon user
into the `_developer` group evidently makes things better (e.g., fewer
GUI prompts when you don't want them).

there's a _developer group? who knew

right. and it's not like it shows up under "Groups" in the server app
or anything.

but if you put the machine into "enable this for development" mode,
all users in the _developer group have some special privileges, such
as not being prompted for the administrator password to be able to run
things like Instruments and the like.

and of course _xcserver or whatever is in that group

and now teamcity is as well :simple_smile:
