This could include directories in /sbin /bin /usr /lib /etc... If you want to do all using group, it would seem to me you would need to have the directories where software, libraries and configuration files install to all in the same group as yum unless you are using setuid. I would suggest using sudo to allow the user to run the command yum with root ownership using his own password. You then would not have to worry about setuid and groups...
