It's the latter. Phew!
Adding users to SG0 will do no good. Only root users can usefully be
in SG0 groups since they're the only ones that can be logged in and
remain in SG0. username+0 doesn't work either, it is named SG0 since it
has no name but ID 0. The core code has checks to prevent you from
adding cross-sitegroup resources -- in this case I would expect
mgd_errstr to report a 'sitegroup violation' when you tried to add the
group/user.
When logging into a site without specifying a sitegroup by the
extension to the username, the sitegroup you'll be in defaults to the
SG of the host record you're accessing. For SG0 you _must_ specify an
existing SG since you're never allowed to be in SG0 if you're not
root.
