>what's not working for you?
The useless
feature that allows users pretend to be part of a group while they actually aren't.
>What version of MediaWiki are you running?
MediaWiki 1.15.1
PHP 5.2.8 (apache2handler)
MySQL 5.1.30-community

Yes, of course: read, upload, etc... .

---------------------------------------------------------
$wgAutopromote = array(
'autoconfirmed' => array( '&',
array( APCOND_EDITCOUNT, &$wgAutoConfirmCount ),
array( APCOND_AGE, &$wgAutoConfirmAge ),
),
'employee' => array( '&',
array( APCOND_EMAILCONFIRMED, &$wgAutoConfirmAge ),
),
);
---------------------------------------------------------
This way, an emailconfirmed user (the one that follows and completes the confirmation
procedures) can see itself as a part of the employee group using Special:Preferences.
This, at the same time, doesn't have effect on Special:ListUsers.
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.
I wonder if there is a way to do this other than using the $wgAutopromote configuration
directive.
Do you have any suggestion?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank's a lot.

$wgAutopromote doesn't actually put the user into the group; it just sometimes
pretends the user is in the group when checking rights (and on Special:Preferences).
Ignoring whether this behavior actually makes sense, what's not working for you? The
user should have the rights associated with the group, even though he won't be listed
in it on Special:ListUsers.
What version of MediaWiki are you running? Do the desired rights show up for the group on
Special:ListGroupRights? What is the exact code you're using with $wgAutopromote?
