Only a GVO Manager can create and edit 'boards'. To create/edit a board use the Settings page and look for the 'MAT Settings' tab (see below).
Initially the only board that will be displayed is the Trust Board (there is only one of these). Click on the board name to edit the name and membership. Press Submit when finished.
Local Boards can be created by using the 'Create new Board' button - you can then add the board name and membership.
In both cases (Trust and Local Boards) when editing there is an option to use this list of users as a normal 'member group' which can be used for notifications and folder/file access control. This is a very useful feature as each board only needs to be maintained in one list (see below)
Option to use the board as a User Group...
Boards that are also used as 'groups' are shown with a small 'board' icon in the 'groups' list (see below). These boards can be edited by the GVO Manager from the Groups page or the MAT Settings page.
