   CREATED BY: Vadim Melamed, EMAIL: vmelamed5@gmail.com
.DESCRIPTION
   USE THIS FUNCTION TO CREATE AN EPV GROUP IN CYBERARK
.PARAMETER NoSSL

.PARAMETER token
   HashTable of data containing various pieces of login information (PVWA, LoginToken, HeaderType, etc).
   If -token is not passed, function will use last known hashtable generated by New-VPASToken
.PARAMETER Description
   An explanation/details of the target resource
   Best practice states to leave informative descriptions to help identify the resource purpose
.PARAMETER GroupName
   Unique target GroupName that will be used to name the EPVGroup
.PARAMETER Location
   Define where the new EPV group will be located within the CyberArk directory
.EXAMPLE
   $VCreateEPVGroupJSON = Add-VPASEPVGroup -GroupName {GROUPNAME VALUE} -Description {DESCRIPTION VALUE} -Location {LOCATION VALUE}
.OUTPUTS
   JSON Object (Group Details) if successful
   $false if failed
