Create a new PI group

Note the following restrictions on user group names:

• Names must be unique. They cannot match the name of an existing PI user, PI group, or PI identity.

• Names cannot include the vertical pipe (|) character or the colon (:) character.

• Names cannot be a positive integer, although they can contain numbers. For example, the name 329 is not valid, but the name Admins329 is valid.

• Names are not case sensitive.
