Description

In T415998 we added a section about group restrictions to Special:ListGroupRights. This section is a useful place to explain users what exactly are the requirements for their groups. For a consistent user experience, we should add a similar section to Special:GlobalGroupPermissions, so that users know what they are required to do for certain global groups.

Acceptance criteria

Special:GlobalGroupPermissions has a section about group restrictions, with the same layout and functionality as similar section on Special:ListGroupRights
