I have the following example for a user story with acceptance criteria.

I would like to know if I am allowed to describe how the GUI must be changed to support the new feature. How much detail can acceptance criteria have?

This is my example:

User Story:

As forum administrator I will connect persons in groups, so that people can get organized.

Acceptance Criteria:

The creation of a person group happens below a person group pool (person group pool is an object also visually available in the current software system)
The creation happens with a context menu of the persongroup pool. Below the pool one can create new groups.
A person group contains: person group-ID, description, remark

May that be relevant an right acceptance criteria? Because I describe how you can create a new group by opening a context menu.
