public class GroupLocalServiceImpl
extends GroupLocalServiceBaseImpl
```
Provides the local service for accessing, adding, deleting, and updating groups. Groups are mostly used in Liferay as a resource container for permissioning and content scoping purposes.
Groups are also the entity to which LayoutSets are generally associated. Since LayoutSets are the parent entities of Layouts (i.e. pages), no entity can have associated pages without also having an associated Group. This relationship can be depicted as ... Layout -> LayoutSet -> Group[type] [-> Entity]. Note, the Entity part is optional.

Group has a "type" definition that is typically identified by two fields of the entity - String className, and int type .

The className field helps create the group's association with other entities (e.g. Organization, User, Company, UserGroup, ... etc.). The value of className is the full name of the entity's class and the primary key of the associated entity instance. A site has className="Group" and has no associated entity.

The type field helps distinguish between a group used strictly for scoping and a group that also has pages (in which case the type is SITE). For a list of types, see GroupConstants.

Here is a listing of how Group is related to some portal entities ...
- Site is a Group with className="Group"
- Company has 1 Group (this is the global scope, but never has pages)
- User has 1 Group (pages are optional based on the behavior configuration for personal pages)
- Layout Template (LayoutPrototype) has 1 Group which uses only 1 of it's 2 LayoutSets to store a single page which can later be used to derive a single page in any Site
- Site Template (LayoutSetPrototype) has 1 Group which uses only 1 of it's 2 LayoutSets to store many pages which can later be used to derive entire Sites or pulled into an existing Site
- Organization has 1 Group, but can also be associated to a Site at any point in it's life cycle in order to support having pages
- UserGroup has 1 Group that can have pages in both of the group's LayoutSets which are later inherited by users assigned to the UserGroup

    Returns an ordered range of all the groups belonging to the parent group that match the class name IDs, name, and description, optionally including the user's inherited organization groups and user groups. System and staged groups are not included.
    Useful when paginating results. Returns a maximum of end - start instances. start and end are not primary keys, they are indexes in the result set. Thus, 0 refers to the first result in the set. Setting both start and end to QueryUtil.ALL_POS will return the full result set.
    
    Parameters:
    companyId - the primary key of the company
    classNameIds - the primary keys of the class names of the entities the groups are related to (optionally null)
    parentGroupId - the primary key of the parent group
    name - the group's name (optionally null)
    description - the group's description (optionally null)
    params - the finder params (optionally null). To include a user's organizations, inherited organizations, and user groups in the search, add an entry with key "usersGroups" mapped to the user's ID and an entry with key "inherit" mapped to a non-null object. For more information see GroupFinder
    andOperator - whether every field must match its keywords, or just one field.
    start - the lower bound of the range of groups to return
    end - the upper bound of the range of groups to return (not inclusive)

    Returns an ordered range of all the site groups and organization groups that match the name and description, optionally including the user's inherited organization groups and user groups. System and staged groups are not included.
    Useful when paginating results. Returns a maximum of end - start instances. start and end are not primary keys, they are indexes in the result set. Thus, 0 refers to the first result in the set. Setting both start and end to QueryUtil.ALL_POS will return the full result set.
    
    Parameters:
    companyId - the primary key of the company
    name - the group's name (optionally null)
    description - the group's description (optionally null)
    params - the finder params (optionally null). To include the user's inherited organizations and user groups in the search, add entries having "usersGroups" and "inherit" as keys mapped to the the user's ID. For more information see GroupFinder
    andOperator - whether every field must match its keywords, or just one field.
    start - the lower bound of the range of groups to return
    end - the upper bound of the range of groups to return (not inclusive)
    obc - the comparator to order the groups (optionally null)
    
    Returns:
    the matching groups ordered by comparator obc
