Open Social has a 4th group type:  Secret Group

It allows users to create groups, that cannot be found in the overviews/search unless you are a member of that group.

A site manager can still determine platform-wide if normal users may create these in the first place.

But for the communities that do allow this for normal users: we've made sure that site managers are always able to see all secret groups in the overviews!
