Description: The name of the group to which this entry (e.g., the combination of securityModel and securityName) belongs.

This groupName is used as index into the vacmAccessTable to select an access control policy. However, a value in this table does not imply that an instance with the value exists in table vacmAccesTable.

What is vacmGroupName?

This read-create string, from 1 to 32 characters, names the group to which a given combination of securityModel and securityName belongs, and this groupName is used as an index into the vacmAccessTable to select an access control policy, though its presence here doesn't guarantee a matching vacmAccessTable entry exists. Admins set this to assign an SNMPv3 user or community to a named permission group when configuring view-based access control. For example, setting it to admin-group assigns that security principal to the admin-group group, whose access policy is then looked up in vacmAccessTable.
