https://machine.domain.com/webadaptor/sharing/rest/community/groups/2ecb37a8c8fb4051af9c086c25503bb0Description
An individual group resource represents a group within the organization. The group owner is automatically an administrator and is returned in the list of administrators. Administrators can invite, add to, or remove members from a group as well as update or delete the group. The administrator for an organization can also reassign the group to another member of the organization.
The visibility of the group by other users is determined by the access property. If the group is private, no one other than the administrators and members of the group will be able to see it. If the group is shared with an organization, all members of the organization will be able to find it.
Group members can leave the group. Authenticated users can apply to join a group unless the group is by invitation only.
