You may control the name and description of the group,

Group Name - Short name, uniquely identifies the group.
Group Description - Text that describes the group.
The description is seen when the group's details are viewed.

Group Status - May be one of three settings: Open, Closed, or Hidden.
For more information, see "Group Types (Open, Hidden, Closed)".
Delete the old group moderator? - When you change the group moderator,
check this to remove the old group moderator from the group.
If this is unchecked when the moderator is changed,
the old group moderator will become a normal member of the group.
Delete group - Check this box and click Submit to delete the group.
Group Permissions
This panel will allow you to control a group's access to private forums.
It will also let you specify groups as moderators of a forum.
If a group is moderator of a forum, then each of the group's members is
considered a moderator of that forum.
To edit a group's permissions,
select the group name from the dropdown box, and click Look Up Group.
To grant moderator access to a group, look in the desired forum's row.
In the last dropdown box in the list, choose Is Moderator.
Simple Group Permissions
To grant a group access to a private forum using Simple Permissions,
Choose Allowed Access in the Simple Permissions for that forum.
Choosing Allowed Access is the same as setting all
Advanced Group Permissions to ON.
Advanced Group Permissions
Advanced Permissions will allow you to grant specific
behaviors to a group. In the Advanced Permissions panel,
there will be a dropdown box for each Permission type that is set to PRIVATE
in the Forum Permissions panel (for more information, see "Forum Permissions").
To grant the group a specific PRIVATE permission in a forum,
simply set the appropriate dropdown box to ON.
To grant all PRIVATE permissions of a forum to a group,
use Allowed Access in simple mode.
