Why not make virtual XWikiAllGroup also contain global users? We can make:
xwiki.authentication.group.allgroupimplicit=0 -> no xwiki.authentication.group.allgroupimplicit=1 -> yes, all local users xwiki.authentication.group.allgroupimplicit=2 -> yes, local and global Or do you want to have only some global users, not all of them?
