Yes, this is IGroupController. It also exists for datasets with
IDatasetController. I think the CKAN 2.0 merge may have broken
IDatasetController, not sure about IGroupController (David reviewed this

I actually implemented IOrganizationController plus an example extension
on Ross's organizations branch, you could look at that.
