>>what's not working for you?
The useless feature that allows users pretend to be part of a group while they
actually aren't.
>>What version of MediaWiki are you running?
MediaWiki 1.15.1
PHP 5.2.8 (apache2handler)
MySQL 5.1.30-community
>>Do the desired rights show up for the group on >>Special:ListGroupRights?
Yes, of course: read, upload, etc... .
>>What is the exact code you're using with $wgAutopromote?
---------------------------------------------------------
$wgAutopromote = array(
'autoconfirmed' => array( '&',
array( APCOND_EDITCOUNT, &$wgAutoConfirmCount ),
array( APCOND_AGE, &$wgAutoConfirmAge ),
),
'employee' => array( '&',
array( APCOND_EMAILCONFIRMED, &$wgAutoConfirmAge ),
),
);
---------------------------------------------------------
This way, an emailconfirmed user (the one that follows and completes the
confirmation procedures) can see itself as a part of the employee group using
Special:Preferences.
This, at the same time, doesn't have effect on Special:ListUsers.
The group 'employee' in my MW configuration has some special write permissions
managed by a well known extension: $wgSpecialPageLockdown['FormEdit'] =
array('employee'); which (you know) doesn't show up in the
Special:ListGroupRights.
Of course, when I manually put a user in the desired group (employee) using
Special:UserRights, everything works fine.
I do need to actually put a user into a group.
I wonder if there is a way to do this other than using the $wgAutopromote
configuration directive.
Do you have any suggestion?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank's a lot.

$wgAutopromote doesn't actually put the user into the group; it just sometimes
pretends the user is in the group when checking rights (and on
Special:Preferences). Ignoring whether this behavior actually makes sense,
what's not working for you? The user should have the rights associated with
the group, even though he won't be listed in it on Special:ListUsers.
What version of MediaWiki are you running? Do the desired rights show up for
the group on Special:ListGroupRights? What is the exact code you're using with
$wgAutopromote?
