What the API does

• Finds the group being referenced by the groupID passed [404].
• Ensures that uid corresponds to a record in the members field with a status of accepted and has a value of true for its is_admin field [403].
• Updates and saves the group with the new value(s) for name, description, icon, cover_image and/or privacy.
• Loops through each of the member of the members array of that group having a status of accepted and a value of false for its has_muted field and generates a new notificationID and a timestamp corresponding to the current date and time, and creates a new object in the notifications collection with the following data:

  {
    uid: member.uid,
    notificationID: notificationID,
    content: `Some info have been updated in the group.${groupID} group`,
    profileID: uid,
    type: "group_update",
    created_on: timestamp,
    read: false,
    redirect: `/group/${groupID}`
  }
