    If you have only read permissions on SharePoint site level then all the UI options related to site permissions will be hidden from you. There is no way you can navigate to particular group permissions from out of the box UI options.

    You can also try to check if you can access "Site Permissions" page using URL:

     

    <site-url>/_layouts/user.aspx

     

    As a workaround you can create a quick link on navigation/SharePoint page which redirects to particular group URL.
