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). 2014/1/21 Jean SIMARD <[email protected]>
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, -- Jean

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
