Go to your admin menu, go to the forum overview and set the permission for the specific element (the social category). Take away the "can view all posts" and other permissions for the registered, guest and other user groups and hit save. After that go to the social groups settings and there you can allow permissions for users, moderators and group creators.

If the group is set to "open" anyone can join or request to do so (if "moderated" is checked) just by clicking the join button.
If that is not set the creater/a moderator can go to the members page (via the box in the sidebar or url with /members at the end) and invite users with the search box on the right. Remember: If the group is not open, but moderated a moderator invites people and they get asked if they want to join, but after that the moderator has to allow them to join "again" by accepting their join request.
But it works
You be different in your theme. For the user the easiest way is via the alert system, that will redirect to the correct site. Moderators have an overview via the members site
Big button at the top of the sidebar!
Could you explain in more detail re: your update. I can't quite work out if what you have done is a "workaround" or if that is as it is designed.
Just giving back to the comminity, because you helped me so much.
If I understand correctly, this is exactly how you are supposed to do it. It is not a "workaround". But if you have any suggestions on how to make the user permissions system more user friendly (but still as flexible) do let me know.
Could you paste a screenshot of the permissions you have had to set for the Social Category? My understanding from what you have said is that you have used the "inherit" permission for most things?*community - oops
I think that groups should by default the same way as xenforo forums itselves do, so it should not display them if there is no inherited permission given. It will be flexible in the same way, because you can always give permission to allow user to view the page. It should of course not only look for forum specific permissions, but also for global ones. Social groups is cool, but hard to learn, because it somehow breaks with the basic user flow and way xenforo is setup (in my opinion). It works, but it is pretty hard to understand that.
Kein problem.
Might want to check your node permissions again then. The add-on is actually not that clever, so if you set the permissions correctly it will just work like any normal forum.
