Is this a typo or do you really have newform.save and not newform.save()?
If so then that is one of your problems since you are not actualling calling
the save method, just returning its type.

I believe the better way to achieve what you are trying to do is:
if form.is_valid():
newgroup = form.save(commit=False)
newgroup.group_owner = request.user.id
newgroup.group_members = request.user.id
newgroup.group_admins = request.user.id
newgroup.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect("/group/list/")
