You can make changes to this group. For that double-click on this group. On the first page will be the group name that you can change. You can add an E-Mail Address or some type of description about the group on this page.

The next page is for the members in which you can add new members to this group. You can add the user either by entering the user's name if you remember the name or you can do an Advanced Search to find the user and then add it.

Step 5
 
The next page is named "Member of" from which you can make this group a member of any other group. Here you also can either directly enter the name of the group or you can search the names using the Advanced Search option.
