-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
This module enables users to create and manage their own 'groups'. Each group can have subscribers, and maintains a group home page where subscribers communicate among themselves. Selective groups require approval in order to become a member, or even invitation-only groups.
Under the certain field configurations a user is able to subscribe without approval to group that requires approving the membership. Depending on permissions, the user may be able to post content to that group.
