FS#1681 User assignment to groups does not work

ACL & Authentication

  I have a configuration where:
  
  *   @ALL       0
  *   @users     0
  wiki: @ALL     1
  playground: @users 8
  private: @household 8
  
  I have users:
  
  bob  is a member of group household
  alice is a member of groups users, household
  
  bob can create and edit files in namespace private
  alice cannot
  
  It appears that only the first group in the list of groups for a user is recognized or that the effective permissions for a user that is a member of multiple groups is a logical AND of all the permissions of all the groups.
  
  The documentation in manual->DokuWiki Administration->...about permissions->Access Control with ACL is not clear to me on exactly how it is supposed to work.
  
  :) It's either a documentation bug or a functional bug. go figger!

  I do have a circumvention: specify a special group where bob and alice are members and are members of only that group where that group has the desired permissions.
  
  For the small site that I have (now) this will work and will not be difficult to administer. I can envision a scenario where with a large number of namespaces and a large number of users where different namespaces are to be accessable to only some that it becomes unmanageable.
  
  What I have works for now. Thanks!

  You missed the asterisk after the colon:
  private:* @household 8
  
  With that I cannot reproduce your problem.
  Alternatively you can always use the ACL manager (with which you can at least be sure not to make any syntax errors).
