Hm, I forgot I already did this.
$xwiki.getUser("XWiki.username").isUserInGroup("XWiki.Group")
This works with the beta versions.

Are users authenticated using the normal XWiki authentication, or LDAP?
If it's normal login, I'll send you a simple velocity macro that checks if
a user belongs to a group.

Sergiu,
On 10B2 I don't seem to get a group listing for this API command,
regardless of who saves the page.. showstopper for my installation planned
this weekend. Is there an alteration to how the API is called in the new
version?

I'd have to agree with you on all those points.. no standard user
should ever be able to get access to the database directly.
A simple call like $xwiki.isMemberOf("XWiki.ProjectManagersGroup") would
be extremely useful, and require less frontend manipulation (a simple
boolean check instead of a loop with string comparisons).
Surely that kind of call could be done without need for PR rights
though?

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.
