Comment (by dcavins):

 Hi @danbp: I was testing your snippet, too, and it works to hide groups
 from the "view" screen of the profile (if you remove the
 `bp_is_user_profile_edit()` conditional), but has no effect on the edit
 view.

 As @boonebgorges says above, to prevent the profile group "tab" link from
 being created, the logic chain starts with `bp_profile_group_tabs()` in
 `members/edit.php` which leads me to `bp_get_profile_group_tabs()`, where
 the groups are fetched via `bp_profile_get_field_groups()`. I can exclude
 tabs using the following code:

 {{{
 function bpfr_hide_profile_field_group( $groups ) {

     // Hide the profile group tabs on the edit interface for all non-
 admins.
     if ( bp_is_user_profile_edit() && ! current_user_can( 'bp_moderate' )
 ) {
           $remove_groups = array( 2 ); // Put the IDs of the groups to
 remove here, separated by commas.
           foreach ( $groups as $key => $group_obj ) {
               if ( in_array( $group_obj->id, $remove_groups )  ) {
                 unset( $groups[$key] );
               }
           }
     }

     return $groups;
 }
 add_filter( 'bp_profile_get_field_groups', 'bpfr_hide_profile_field_group'
 );
 }}}

 Note that this won't prevent users from actually editing those groups--
 they can still access the edit group url directly, and the default
 template will allow access.

 Your code *does* work for excluding fields on the edit form, though. So
 maybe that's a source of confusion.
