Hi,
By default users that register on a privat XWiki will be added as a document with a
XWiki.XWikiUsers object in the XWiki space
Also they become automatic member of the group XWiki.XWikiAllGroup.
Is it possible to have all registered users (except the default system-usewrs like admin)
in a seperate space?
If you do so, will this cause problems when upgrading xwiki, which would be my main
driver to consider this.
If people think this could or should be a best practise...
My opinion is that the XWiki space becomes cluttered with users
and also the requirement to have read access on many important system objects in XWiki
space
can conflict with some groups security policy on users and peoples privacy
Would it be difficult to migrate users to a different space and keep all the group
memberships and authorizations and passwords intact?

Currently, authentication does not work if the user is not in the XWiki
space, but you are right, users should be in a different space by
default. Using "XWiki" as a catch-all space is wrong, IMO.
