Just to add some precisions:
= What the migrator do =
1. Create a group XWikiMemberGroup, with XWikiAllGroup as the first member.
2. All global users of XWikiAllGroup are put inside XWikiMemberGroup and
removed from XWikiAllGroup.
3. All rights concerning XWikiAllGroup are changed (ex: "view for
XWikiAllGroup" -> "view for XWikiMemberGroup"). It does not break
anything
since XWikiAllGroup is a member of XWikiMemberGroup.
4. All candidacies (ie: join requests, etc...) are moved form
XWikiAllGroup to XWikiMemberGroup, to be consistent.
Of course, this migration is only done on subwikis.

Exactly, I don't have to have all global users in the this group. Only
those who are considered as "members" (ie: they have joined the wiki).

Why not make virtual XWikiAllGroup also contain
global users?
We can make:
xwiki.authentication.group.allgroupimplicit=0 -> no
xwiki.authentication.group.allgroupimplicit=1 -> yes, all local users
xwiki.authentication.group.allgroupimplicit=2 -> yes, local and global
Or do you want to have only some global users, not all of them?

Hi developers!
In Workspaces, we used to add global users in the XWikiAllGroup page
of a
subwiki to indicate that they are members of that
wiki.
Now, we have an option called "user scope", and we can have both
global
&
local users in a subwiki. That means we have
global & local users in
XWikiAllGroup.
Then, it is a problem because it can not work when XWikiAllGroup is a
virtual group [1].
Then, I have proposed to create a new group, called XWikiMemberGroup,
that
hold the members of the subwiki. (Note:
XWikiAllGroup will be a member
of
XWikiMemberGroup, in order to say "a local
user is a member").
So, I have written a migration (again!) [2], to create the new group
with
the current content of XWikiAllGroup. In this
migration, I also
changes all
existing rights that occur on XWikiAllGroup to
make them effective for
XWikiMemberGroup. I did not want to duplicate these rights by just
adding
the sames for XWikiMemberGroup. I think it is
easier for the user to
only
take care of the XWikiMemberGroup. But it looks a
bit "magical", and
some
people don't like it.
I would like to have your opinion.
+1 for adding XWikiMemberGroup and to "migrate" rights (replace all
rights
given to XWikiAllGroup by rights given to
XWikiMemberGroup).
Thanks,
Louis-Marie
