Tiki has quite a comprehensive permissions system in place at the moment. you would need to code some additional permissions to allow for group managers and then add security checks for those group manager permissions at various feature places.

Well you would need to create a new permission in the database, then modify the admin_permissions so thats its there to be enabled. Then it would be a case of modifying the code in all areas to check for the new permission. I think a lot of tweaking in nearly all files.
