create.a

The create.a action is the first version of the create action for the Ultra blockchain. It registers a new group in the groups.a table using the parameters specified by the creator.

Behavior

• This action reads the new group ID from the groupid table and then increments the id field.
• The eosio.group account pays for the RAM usage for the groupid table.
• Any account can create a group, and the creator account pays the RAM usage to store the group info in the groups.a table.
