Here is a new group / role editor in the lite ui. This is needed since there is currently no UI way to set the type of a group (group|role), and we need a way to manage group role hierarchies. Also, the current UI privilege editor is a little hard to figure out, hopefully the new way is easier to use…
Here is a movie of the screen:
