I want to learn the most efficient way to create groups for markets,so that I don’t have to spend a lot of time recreating the same groups for 8 markets, want to implement group permissions for multiple markets at once.

I know we have smart service to create groups and also we have plugin called Peoples functions plug-in. Do we have any other way ?

As you said, by implementing a process for creating the groups  would be most efficient way for you. 

groups are objects in appian so I don’t think you have any other way. Or you would need to manage access of features from DB.

I want less developer interaction to create a group maybe need to provide a functionality in which user can manually add groups

that is possible as you already have smart service to create groups. Users can be also be created from front end. Users can be added in group by smart service.

you just need to think how these groups can have access to only required feature

Not sure what "other way" you are looking for? If the end user can do something that requires creating groups, you know the solution. If groups are static design objects, just create them once. Can you help me understanding what exactly you are looking for?

Need to create multiple groups so we can  implement group permissions for multiple markets at once,may be worth it to avoid tedious set up. Look into the Create Group Smart service. Also look into Peoples functions plug-in. Developer tool for dev environment. Will likely still need to do some configuration of permissions.
