Yair - why would active be set on a group?
Itamar - I don't think there is a sense in that.
At engine-core- not being set.
At UI - I think the code should be revisited, in AdElementListModel there are places where
we create user objects and store in side them group information. later on we store these
objects at the groups collection of the model, and this model is being used to present the
list of users and groups.
