+Sets API groups which restrict group members to only a certain set of commands. The list of groups is comma(,) delimited and each entry has its parameters colon(:) delimited. The first parameter of an entry is always the Group Identifier, which consists of one letter. When defining a group, you can use the asterisk (*) to refer to all non-priviledged functions.

+Two groups are pre-defined and may not be used with this option:
+* `R` Access to all non-priviledged functions
+* `W` Access to all priviledged and non-priviledged functions
 
 Group Members are specified in [api-allow](#api-allow) where they are associated with a group by their IP address.
