Notice the group section is comprised of two differnt different input fields. The first one is a drop box con
taining containing all the currently configured groups. If the Node's group is not in this drop down box, we c
an can enter a new group value in the text box below it.
If it'd s desirable to not display a certain group to any user of the GUI we may invoke the 'Hide Groups' feature. This is a
vailable available from the NMIS9 top menu bar by selecting System->System Configuration->Hide Groups.

The members
Note: You can select group visibility on a per user basis using the Users table's group field (Users.nmis file) as in previous versions.
The member nodes of a hidden group will still be collected on, but they will not be visable visible via the GUI to any user.
