Description

There should be a new group permission group.can_manage
This permission should make the following actions possible group.create, groups.update or changing the permissions of any group.
If a user (who has user.can_manage but NOT groups.can_mannage) cannot import any participants into a groups with group.can_manage permission. The import shouulld throw an Error.

You should not need this permission to set a group. But trying to add a group with this permisison without having it yourself should be blocked.

Research direction

Start by tracing the permission checks for group.create, groups.update, group permission changes, and participant imports. Confirm how existing user and group permissions are represented and tested. Done means the new group.can_manage permission gates the listed actions and rejects unauthorized participant imports while still allowing group setup.
