Cannot find jabberadmins groups after installing ejabberd and starting service

NethServer Version: 7.3 RC3 (with all updates)
Module: ejabberd

folks, looking for where to configure the enjabberd options on Nethserver web admin. I have the “chat server” menu option and I’ve enabled the “start server” and submitted that. The Documentation from 6.8

http://docs.nethserver.org/en/latest/chat.html

“All users within the group jabberadmins are considered administrators of the chat server.
Administrators can:
Send broadcast messagesCheck the status of connected users
The group jabberadmins is configurable from Groups page.”

But I cannot see any jabberadmins group. The only groups are the “domain admins@domainname” and the domain groups created in the User & Groups web interface. Using the root command line I can see a ejabbered group (id 1001) but that is it. This doesn’t seem to match documentation of 6.8, but I can’t find any specific documentation for chat in 7.3 yet. Can you guys help me with this confusion.

IIRC you first can create a group with that name from the Groups page.

Okay, so special groups you create manually in the User & Groups interface and the ejabberd server will recognize those if the user is added and this includes the jabberadmin which you must create manually first and because I am configured in AD mode I can’t use different chat groups. This implies that the jabberadmin group cannot be used in AD mode, right?

You can create the group inside your account provider, even if is a remote server (ad or LDAP)
