Group Content Area

Bb Learn 9.1 - Allowing student group to comment on another student groups wiki?

Hi All, Unfortunately I was unable to find here an answer to my question. What I am hoping for is that students from Group A can comment on Group B's wiki without editing the content. Is this possible within Bb 9.1? Any help or links appreciated.
