Could we get an option to extend the visible length of group name labels (e.g., next to peers, resources, or policies) in the UI? Currently, group names get truncated, and users have to hover over them to see the full name, which is inconvenient. We use longer names to describe roles and functions clearly, so having the ability to show either the full name or a longer portion of it would greatly improve usability and reduce frustration.

Too add to this, if group name lengths are an issue when being referenced, maybe using group guids instead of names and just have the group names as vanity names.
