Ever since I upgraded to 0.726 my group of sub-admins have been unable to access the Groups module. This is the setup I have:
Sub-Admins (the group name)
Groups::
(VIP Group):: (the sub-admins can moderate access to the vip group)
Delete
Groups icon does not show up in the admin panel for the sub-admins. I've looked over all the shemas and don't see any typos or red flags... Anybody know what's up? -

The problem description was that how to give a group of Sub_Admins limited access to the Administration menu (Groups), and also limit the Groups they could administrate. The interesting thing about this problem is that the permission system can handle it if you know how - which took me quite a bit of time, and a lot of searching, reading, testing and retesting :|

In the extract of a permissions table above, line 2 gives Read access to the Administration menu, which is what is needed to see the relevant Admin items, in this case the Groups object.
Line 3 removes any permission to Administrate the two groups Admins and Sub-Admins for the Sub-Admins group.
Line 4 gives the Sub-Admins Delete permissions for the rest of the available groups.
