I am not sure if the OP wanted the same thing as us but since I think we have a similar question I will resurrect this thread.

Is it possible to 'hide' the ACL groups from the general 'manage groups' view.

We would like users to be able to view all groups except for the ACL groups.

Here is an example of what we have:

Mail Group 1
Mail Group 2
Mail Group 3
ACL Group 1
ACL Group 2
ACL Group 3

Generally we will have 1 ACL group for each corresponding Mailing group. When a user is logged in, we want them to be only able to see the Mail Groups, even if they are a member of 1 or more ACL groups.

I've been having a look at the hooks but cannot see an obvious way to achieve this through them.

Cheers,

Conor

There are two ACL related hooks:

You can use the hook_civicrm_aclGroup

to control what groups a user has access to
