[xwiki-users] Virtual wiki's and groupmembership (implemented on 0.9.840 due for upgrade to 1.0b2).

[Sergiu Dumitriu]

AFAIK:
The API you are using requires programming rights, and these rights are only
possible for users in the main wiki. Try this:
- Create an account on the main wiki, with an username that does not exist
in the other virtual wikis
- Grant Programming rights to that user
- Login with that user
- Edit and save the pages that list the users

Now it should work.
