I think that ${user.name} variable is obtained from system proprietes class<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#getProperties%28%29>, where I can not find the group.name propriety, so probably it is not possible to create pools depending on the user group, despite in the document is mentioned that is possible..
