When a group is created there is no way to make it published, i.e. no 'Publish' sidebar exists to allow the creator to set the group to publish mode. Only the administrator can go into the group under content and force it to be published. Am I missing something here?

The default Group publishing for Drupal Commons is set to not publish, but you can have an administrator easily change this default.
Go to Structure >> Content Types >> select Group edit link
1) Find "publishing options
2) under default options, mark "Published"
3) save content type

Now Groups will publish to your Commons site when created by users with create content type group permissions.

Yes, but this means that, effectively, the administrator has to approve all groups by manually publishing it. Users cannot publish their created grouops.

If you follow my instructions above and change the "default" option to publish, you will get the result you wish.
