Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I as a non admin need to know about the groups of other users to see what (projects/departments) they're workin' on or skills they have. It's just about the group name, not the information that lies within that group!!

Describe the solution you'd like

  1. Using the search on the top right gives me the users and also a tooltip with the groups of a user, as an addition of #15041. Those groups hold that specific information (projects/departments/skills).
  2. Admin can setup, if the group should be visible to all/just groupmembers/none. Default setting could be none.

Bonus:

  1. Clicking on a group gives me all the members on a seperate page.
  2. Groups should also be listed in that dropdown/search menu.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Just have the current information and don't know anything about that user.
