The design of groups (and the whole forum) should be upgraded.

The most important thing on https://community.databricks.com/s/group/CollaborationGroup/Default, is that by default, should be displayed 50 or 100 groups, not only three as currently. When we click to show more, we should see another 50 or 100 not five.

I also think that in long term, everyone should be allowed to create a group using Create group button (but it is less important than design fixes).

@Hubert Dudek​ , I completely echo with you, everyone should be allowed to create a group using Create group button or should have the possibility of submission of the request to create a group for every user so that it cannot be spammed. When I tried creating a group for Hyderabad, India, I couldn't able to find how I can create a group, till now I could not able to find any group for it.

@Suteja Kanuri​ Hope the above request/enhancement can be taken into consideration.

Thank you

Happy learning!!
