Hello,
This has frustrated me to no end. I have a custom authenticator based on the http example
(https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/sandbox/blob/master/authenticators/xwiki-a…)
and it works well, except for one thing.
In the linked code, you'll see a method syncUser that creates the user if necessary. I
would like to modify this section to place the user in more than one global group. Here is
my best attempt:
// Right after the createUser() call...
XWikiGroupService groupService = context.getWiki().getGroupService(context);
groupService.addUserToGroup(validUserFullName, context.getDatabase(),
"XWiki.SomeGroup", context);
groupService.addUserToGroup(validUserFullName, context.getDatabase(),
"XWiki.AnotherGroup", context);
But this is just creating the users. If I log in as superadmin and check the groups, they
are empty. Any ideas?
Thanks!!

Here is the javadoc of #addUserToGroup:
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwi…
This method just update the cache (which is actually pretty useless
since it's updated automatically by listening to document modification
events so we should probably deprecate it) and does not really add the
user to the group. There is no real API to do that directly so you
will have to do it "by hand", meaning adding an object of class
XWiki.XWikiGroups to the group document with the user id in it.
If you want another authenticator that does it you can look at the
LDAP one: more specifically
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwi…
