What do you call the problem of "factoring" a group member into group generators?

The cyclic group case is the discrete logarithm problem, but I don't know what keyword to use for other cases.

What I'm really interested in is the symmetric group. If I have a fixed set of permutations, how do i combine them into the one I want?
