Assigning another group to a vendor doesn't change anything in the frontend in the demo. This would only be the case if there are e.g. different prices for different groups. If you change the group from "admin" to "wholesale", the vendor won't be able to log into the admin backend because then, he's only a regular user with one group.

<<< a wholesale member is a regular user? how is that? what he is supposed to do in this case if he can't signin again?

Only users with "admin" and "editor" roles/groups can see the admin backend. All other users can only log in to see their own profile page with last orders, ability to change their addresses, etc.
"wholesale" is no special group and you could also name it "xyz". It depends on what you assign to that group, e.g. better prices.
