To preface, I only have experience of making reports published to Power BI service and then shared using public url (not Power BI server). But I would discourage using groups as they aren't great for accessibility.

The main cases where I think groups make sense are for elements that won't be read by a screen reader or where a group makes logical sense (e.g. a filter or guidance panel where the user may want to skip over a number of elements).

If you do choose to use groups and have them be screen readable I would include clear guidance in the group alt text about how to enter the group e.g. "Press alt + enter here to open additional guidance about navigating this report". An element at the end of group detailing how to exit the group could also be useful to an end user e.g. 

"Press escape to exit this additional guidance".
Again, apologies since this doesn't directly address your question but you may want to reconsider if using groups is necessary / appropriate for your users' needs.
