Super Groups are advanced Hub Groups, that have their own webspace within the Hub to showcase their Group. Super Groups have a lot of extra functionality built in to allow them to customize their group. 

Super Groups have the ability to include PHP and javascript code into Group pages and modules. Pages or modules that contain PHP or Javascript code will then need to be approved by a Group page approver. Notifications are sent to approvers when a page needs to be approved. Another notification will be sent to the Group managers when the page has been approved.

Super Group templates must follow HUBzero's Super Group Template rules.
