A finite group $\Gamma$ might be represented by a linear transformation
$$\rho : \Gamma\to\mathrm{GL}(\Bbb R^d),$$
or by permutations
$$\phi :\Gamma\to\mathrm{Sym}(n).$$
Of course, latter ones can ...

Doubly primitive groups with simple socle
The classification of doubly transitive groups with simple socle is
known. A good account of such classification can be found for example
in this paper:
