In addition to other group attributes that are end-to-end encrypted (such as group names, group descriptions, and group avatars), the Signal service also doesn’t have access to any information about which accounts are part of a group, which accounts are admins in a group, which accounts can add new people to a group, which accounts can approve requests to join a group, or which accounts can send messages in a group.
