Appmaker group access permissions for developer to add group to role

Question

I found some helpful information in this post [Adding google groups to roles ] which helped me realize I have to have permissions to at least read group membership in order to get a group to properly assign to a role under access permissions (or role assignment). The only way I could get the small group icon next to the group e-mail address was to add myself (developer account) to that group. I do not want to be added to every group in my domain which I assign to roles in my appmaker apps but I can't seem to find the right access permissions to grant access.

I have a second group which I have NOT added myself to but have allowed all in the organization to view members and members e-mail addresses. Is there something I'm missing as appmaker does not appear to find the group (as indicated by the group icon) when adding it to a role?
