     17 <dd>Declares a name for a logical grouping of related permissions.  Individual 
     18 permission join the group through the {@code permissionGroup} attribute of the
     19 <code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/permission-element.html">&lt;permission&gt;</a></code> element.  Members of a group are
     20 presented together in the user interface.
     21 
     22 <p>
     23 Note that this element does not declare a permission itself, only a category in 
     24 which permissions can be placed.  See the 
     25 <code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/permission-element.html">&lt;permission&gt;</a></code> element for element for information 
     26 on declaring permissions and assigning them to groups.
