No, it would look like this:

(1,'jarraa','postgres','keith') to match your original schema.

But it really depends on what you want to solve here.
What data exactly do you have and how do you want to look
for data? I mean, what are the keys?

Do you have a specific "group" and want to see all "docs" for
that group? And then you have a user and want to see all "docs"
for this user? Or is it the other way round and you have
a "doc" and want to see responsible users and/or groups?
And are groups independend from users? Or are users always
in one or many groups? ...
