Summary: AuthUser should enable authorization of multiple groups to access a page

Status: Closed - fixed for 2.1.1

Description: AuthUser appears to only support specification of a single group. There are situations where we want to authorize several groups for a page. For example, using the following notation:

edit password: @admins,staff

Currently, I can only do:

@admins

@staff

If I do the following:

@admins @staff

Only staff group has access.

AuthUser is supposed to allow authentication of multiple groups; if it's not doing that, it's a bug. The correct specification is "@admins @staff" (without the quotes).

I'll set up a test on my server and see if it's working.

It was indeed a bug -- now fixed for 2.1.1. Thanks!
