Description: The AuthUser documentation states the following:
Group password memberships are maintained by editing the SiteAdmin.AuthUser page. To specify a password group that allows access to anyone who is authenticated, you can specify:
@wholeoffice: *
If you need to keep "Fred" out of this password group :
@wholeoffice: *,-Fred
The first form works, but the second one does nothing: Fred is not excluded from the @wholeoffice group.
To fix this, the following patch is required:

}
The loop foreach(preg_grep('/^@/', array_keys($auth)) as $g) may be removed as it's useless: $auth cannot have keys starting with '@'.
The current bug will be fixed for 2.2.20. The feature request about adding user subgroups was moved to PITS:01232 (AuthUser: groups included in other groups). --Petko November 10, 2010, at 05:46 PM
