Hello John,

You can apply group on field, filter, group tag in search view.

Assume that if you want to prevent some filter from user access then you can use like:

<filter string="Label" name="filter_feature"  domain="[('active','=',False)]" groups="group_name"/>

You can apply group on group by filter like:

<group string="Group By">

<filter name="group_filter_name" string="Label" groups="group_name" context="{'group_by': 'filted_name'}"/> 

</group>

Hope it will helpful for you.

Thanks and regards
