No errors were reported through the Admin site. Everything was accepted, but
the values didn't update as I (erroneously?) expected them to.

Ok, I followed the instructions in the manual. They were a little confusing,
but it looks like I got it working. One problem, I think. The user now has
to login with "user+sitegroupname". How can I make it so they only need to
use "user"? (I'm aiming for as little disruption as possible to an existing
user base).
