LayerGroups in geoserver are a very thin construct; for most purposes a
layergroup is equivalent to listing out the layer names it contains in your
wms request.  I don't think the security system provides a mechanism for
restricting access to layergroups directly (because in a sense they don't
really contain any information).  However, restrictions for individual
layers will be applied when making requests for layergroups, so you can
simulate a restricted layergroup  by making any one of the layers it
contains restricted.

Hope this helps.
