Please, always CC dspace-tech. Yes, it adds all users who log via LDAP into one specified group. Its effect is dynamic - the group membership isn't stored permanently, instead it's assigned during each login. You can verify group membership in your profile when logged in. Additionally, there's a patch that allows assigning users to multiple such user groups based on LDAP attributes and it should make it into DSpace 3.0. XMLUI is a completely separate webapp, both can live in parallel on a different URL (e.g. JSPUI in the root URL "/" and XMLUI in "/xmlui"). They both have similar basic features, but largely differ internally. You can find additional details in the documentation. You don't need to migrate to XMLUI to use the specialgroups feature, it works in both interfaces. The wildcard policy admin is only in XMLUI, but like I said, you can have XMLUI deployed alongside JSPUI and only use it occasionally when you need the tool.
