I have read that $Aut(G)$ is a subset of $S_g$.
So say I have a group $G = \{1, 2, 3\}$ for example. Then $S_G = S_3$ is the group of all permutation of the three elements of $G$.
But I don't see why $Aut(G)$ is a subset of $S_G$ as opposed to $Aut(G) = S_G$.
Each element of $S_3$ maps each element of $G$ to an element of $G$. I.e. each element is an automorphism. So why is $Aut(G) \subset S_3$ instead of $Aut(G) = S_3$?
