I am not sure exactly what you want. You can create group by the appadmin, and you only need to do it once for each group. For the assignation of user to a given group, with the appadmin you have to do it many time (one for each group member, one at a time), if you have to review/add new group member frequently you can create a controller function for this...
The access to this function should be restrict as above. You will need a custom widget I guess to make the user membre picking easier (not having to populate the membership table one at a time), maybe SQLFORM.factory() is a better choice then SQLFORM() in this case to construct custom field for the user member picking... Sorry, I don't have any pseudo or code that come to mind rapidly, but for sure you can find and reuse code available here on the list... Also, there is a better appadmin admi interface call badmin or badadmin, you could maybe find code for this, or see how it is programmed. There is also web2pyslice where it may be possible to find code snippet for this.
