At the moment it is possible to disable group management without disabling group functionality 
using basic security.  What you want to do is setup your groups like you want them and then set 
$disabled["groups"] = 1; in your config/config.inc.php3.  This means that NO ONE will be able to 
change the groups that have been setup.  To make changes you will have to enable group management 
for EVERYBODY, make your changes, and then disable it again.

Alternately you could setup a second installation of TWIG that uses the same database, but with a 
different sqlloginhandler_table.  Set your auth type to sqltable and insert your group admins 
into that table.  Then by disabling group management in the main installation and enabling it 
(and probably not much else--esecially not mail!) in the restricted installation, you could allow 
some people to administer the groups without having to open groups up to everybody while you are 
making changes.  If you are using imap or imap-new on your main installation you do not even need 
to create the second sqlloginhandler_table.

A better solution would be to use advanced security and restrict Groups/Item Edit (or even group 
management in general) to a select group.  This gives you more control, and is "the right bay to 
do it," but it does run a bit slower than basic security because of all the SQL queries it must 
make.
