In that property, the value of $GROUPNAME determines a grouping of the controls in the toolbox. The controls are defined by a list of XBL file URLs specified by $URLS. For example:

[SINCE Orbeon Forms 4.6] The following properties are also supported:
Publish dialog actions
[SINCE Orbeon Forms 4.6]
By default the Publish dialog proposes, upon successful publication of a form definition, shortcuts to navigate to the published form's New or Summary pages.
Publish dialog
This property allows specifying which of these actions are available:
Maximum number of columns
Use this property to change the default maximum number of grid columns form authors can create. The more columns there are, the more narrow each column is, and when columns become too narrow, some less "elastic" controls might not have enough space to render properly. You want to set this property to a "reasonable" value to reduce the chance of form authors ending up with columns that are too narrow to accommodate certain controls.
Closing sections
Closing sections in Form Builder can improve responsiveness. This property sets the number of controls after which Form Builder will close all sections except the first one when loading a form. Below that number of controls, all sections are open by default.
Action buttons in Form Builder
Action buttons on the Form Builder summary page
This controls which buttons appear on the Form Builder summary page.
Action buttons on the Form Builder detail page
This controls which buttons appear on the Form Builder detail page.
Available languages
This controls which Form Builder user interface languages appear in the language selector.
Permissions dialog
The permissions dialog allows form authors, amongst other things, to assign permissions to users having a specific roles. In that dialog, form authors can type in a text field the name of the role(s) they want to assign those permissions to. If you're systematically using certain roles, want to save form authors from having to type them, and prevent possible mistakes in the process, you can use the following property to list the role names you want the Form Builder permissions dialog to always show in that dialog:
The value of this property is an array of strings in the JSON format. For instance, the following screenshot shows the dialog with the above property set (see the line for "Organization owner"), and where the form author added a line for an "admin" role.

Access control
If you'd like to have multiple classes of Form Builder users where some can edit, say, forms in the hr app, while others can edit forms in the sales app, see Access control for editing forms.
Explanatory Text TinyMCE configuration
[SINCE Orbeon Forms 2018.1]
To enable form authors to edit text with formatting shown by the Explanatory Text control, Form Builder uses the TinyMCE component. You can configure the TinyMCE by providing your own config as JSON as the value of the oxf.fb.tinymce.config property, as in the example below.
