They're called implicit groups. They don't appear on ListUsers, but they
should appear in a list of a user's groups on Special:Preferences. If they
don't appear *there*, then we've got a bug.
The group 'employee' in my MW configuration
has some special write permissions managed by a well known extension:
$wgSpecialPageLockdown['FormEdit'] = array('employee'); which (you know)
doesn't show up in the Special:ListGroupRights.
Of course, when I manually put a user in the desired group (employee) using
Special:UserRights, everything works fine.
I do need to actually put a user into a group.
If it's an autopromote group, no. There's a reason we put "auto" in the
name :)
