Maybe there should be a setting in xwiki.cfg to customize whether or not
programming rights can be granted on a virtual wiki. These rights were
designed only for global administrators because they are quite dangerous. A
user having PR can change any document or alter the database directly, and
almost anything an administrator should be allowed to do can be achieved
without using PR.
And maybe we should have an API for listing the groups a user is in.

Thanks Sergui, works perfectly when I make that change.
Odd thing, those classes were created quite some time before the virtual
wiki setup was implemented - would have thought they should not be affected
by that.
Almost a bug though: as an administrator, if I trust a user sufficiently
that I grant them admin rights to the virtual wiki, they really should be
able to do anything on that wiki, regardless of whether they exist on the
main wiki or not; might just be me though thinks that way!

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.

Hi all,
Me again, this time with another groups/permission issue.
On my wiki's I use
"$context.xWiki.groupService.listGroupsForUser($context.user,
$context.context))" to get a list of groups a user is a member of. This has
worked very well up until implementing a virtual wiki setup…since
implementing a virtual wiki setup, I've found the listGroupsForUser only
works for the main wiki (the one pointing to xwiki database), and not for
the "other" wiki's hanging on the same server.
The users are definitely regarded as being in the group as a permission
check works for the group (eg if only group ABC has right EDIT for a space,
the user is granted the right only if they are in the group).
But, the listGroupsForUser always returns no groups, even for
XWiki.Admin - even though every user has at least one group.
