This, at the same time, doesn't have effect on Special:ListUsers.
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 :)
