Description: Introduction
        ============
        
        Have you ever feel the need to give to normal (AKA: not Manager/Site Administrator ) Plone member the power to
        manage a group?
        
        Right now in Plone you can make this possible playin with the **Manage users** and **Manage Groups**.
        
        Even playing with those permissions is impossible is to limit the group on which a member (or group of members)
        can manage.
        
        This products make something very dangerous: with a minimal configuration, a member of the Plone portal
        (or all members in a group) will be able to manage the users of a group overriding the basic portal security.
        You only need to go to the *portal_properties* tool of you portal and modifiy the new
        **simple_groups_management_properties**.
        
        In the *sgm_data* section you need to insert a set of strings like
        
        ::
        
            id1|group_id1
            id2|group_id2
            ...
        
        where *id1*, *id2* can be user or group ids. This mean that the member (or group) id1 will be able to act on the
        group_id1 members.
        
        You can also insert a list of groups ids that will be never handled by this product in the
        **sgm_never_managed_groups** section.
        
        The utility also react to the **Add portal members** permission. If the current user has this permission
        you will be able to add new portal members (so no security break for this).
        
        When an user is added to a group or removed, an event will be raised.
        
        Compatibility
        -------------
        
        Tested with Plone 4.2. Look for older releases if you need Plone 3 compatiblity.
        
        Be aware!
        =========
        
        This products override all normal Plone permissions noted above! This can create **security black-holes** in
        your portal!

        The access to the new user/group management form is protected by the **Use Simple Groups Management**
        permission (commonly given to all site Members).
