When creating a new group, or a new bibliography for a group the default should be that these are make private. This requires moderator to make a group ‘unprivate’ by unchecking the Private checkbox in the group settings and to make a bibliography accessible to others than members in the bibliography settings.

This change is partly motivated by preventing that emtpy groups and bibliographies are displayed on the front page.

But it also seems that users are unaware of these settings, or just use the default settings, even if their intention is different.
