Can you grant rights on your group, eg allow all users in one of your groups to modify another group? For example, if the sysadmin creates a "club" user, with a "club" group, will it be possible to permit members of that group to decide to add/remove someone from the group, so that a students' club can manage itself without refering to the sysadmin again after the creation?
