Comment (by r-a-y):

 Nice work so far, thebrandonallen.

 One thing I dislike in `5121.01.groups.patch` is needing to hardcode
 `bp_get_root_blog_id()` everywhere when using `bp_current_user_can()`.

 attachment:6501.02.patch:ticket:6501 should fix this.

 Then, you can omit the `bp_get_root_blog_id()` call:

 {{{
 $can = bp_current_user_can(
         'edit_group',
         array( 'group_id' => $args['item_id'], )
 );
 }}}

 And `bp_current_user_can()` will automatically fallback to using the BP
 root blog ID.

 To set a custom blog ID, you can do something like this:

 {{{
 $can = bp_current_user_can(
         'edit_group',
         array( 'blog_id' => 999, 'group_id' => $args['item_id'], )
 );
 }}}
