Public bug reported:

This is a follow-on wishlist item to the fix in bug #1597133 and the
wishlist item bug #1597134.

Manually created groups are associated with "No institution" per
default. It would be good if we could change that on the interface so
that institution admins could take over the administration of these
groups, e.g. to update group settings or group membership via a CSV file
(or web services calls).

A few different ideas are floating around, and we'll need a bit more
discussion around which one would be the best or a different one:

1. Allow site admins in the "Group settings" screen for each group under
"Administration -> Groups -> Administer groups" to select the
institution, which would add the institution shortname to the group.

2. Allow site admins to add an institution shortname field to the CSV
file to update the institution that a group should be associated with.
This may be a bit complicated as that shortname would need to be found
first by clicking on the institution settings or download a CSV of all
the institutions.

3. Allow group admins on the group settings page to select the
institution with which the group should be associated with. Or should
this only be possible for people with staff / admin permissions?

If the group creator is in only one institution, that assignment could
be made automatically, but the group admins should be able to change
that, e.g. if there are admins from different institutions or the admin
changes.
