How to allow users to create groups with Organic Groups

Question

How do I allow users on my site to create groups. I've done the initial configuration of Organic Groups, there is no 'Create Group' button by default. I want users to be able to create groups under a Parent Group.

Groups are just a special kind of nodes, so you just need to go to Permissions and grant users the right to create nodes of that bundle. Users can create groups by going to yourwebsite.com/node/add/nameofyourgroupnode. There is also a menu link by default.
