Hi Jean.
I might not have been clear about the issue. There is already an
XWikiAllGroup page per wiki. The proposal is about creating a new group
called XWikiMemberGroup that can contains global users (because
XWikiAllGroup can not in some cases).

Hi Guillaume,
I'm not sure that it's a good idea to manage all local users in a same
group given the fact that you may have different subwikis: you will
loose information about these members (you know they are locals but you
don't know from which subwiki). Why not using a XWiki.XWikiAllGroup
page in each subwiki (only when there is local_user in userScope)? Just
an idea, maybe I don't understand all the implications.
Sincerely,

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
