Looks like this group should be added during setup, but there's a check to 
see whether the system is running RHEL7, and if so it is skipped.

from perfsonar-toolkit.spec:

%post
# Add a group of users who can login to the web ui
%if 0%{?el7}
touch /etc/perfsonar/toolkit/psadmin.htpasswd
chgrp apache /etc/perfsonar/toolkit/psadmin.htpasswd
chmod 0640 /etc/perfsonar/toolkit/psadmin.htpasswd
%else
/usr/sbin/groupadd psadmin 2> /dev/null || :
%endif
/usr/sbin/groupadd pssudo 2> /dev/null || :

I've run the groupadd command manually and we'll see how things go from 
there...

Bill.
