 * Hi
 * am facing the following issues with the plugin:
 * 1. I create a parent group in site root wtih Member Groups option set to “Anybody”
   which should allow any signed in user to create a member group. When a signed
   in user (subsriber) visits this created site root group he sees the “Member Groups”
   option. But when he goes into the member groups option the user gets an option
   to “Join group” and No member groups were found. There is no option to create
   a member group until and unless the user joins the site root group.
 * is this the way it is supposed to work? I guess if the root group is setup with
   anybody option for member group a non member should also be able to create a 
   member group right?

 * 2. Also i read somewhere on WP support forums that the root site group is kind
   of place holder not a real group. So why is there a “Join Group” option in the
   group directory for root groups?
 * Kindly help me out
 * Thanks
