Use cases for groups:

- Private categories (define group; set category security for that group only)

- Support group mailbox (create support group; assign [support@example.com](mailto:support@example.com) for incoming email; allow anonymous users to email in; respond via PM)

- create directories of users for display on site

- create groups to assign badges

- messaging to groups with @mentions using group name
