Comment:

 I'm not a fan of granting wp-admin access just for this purpose.

 I've just started working on customizing the current front-end UI for
 groups to permit group admins to manage badges. The built-in behavior
 won't allow for the main thing group admins should be permitted to do:
 directly assign users to their group. (And much of their existing
 capabilities need to be blocked, such as being able to delete the group,
 which will likely be a sizable part of the effort.) The existing system
 largely revolves around a by-invitation system which doesn't make sense in
 the context of badges (at the very least as far as administration goes).
