I think you would benefit a Memberships controller (or something like that), that would handle the adding/removing of users to and from groups. You might also want a corresponding membership model (though it's not totally necessary, but many people find it helpful). That way, your Users and Groups controllers stay "clean", and you isolate the membership-ness stuff to a separate controller.
