    Description

      WikiUserManager API relies on a blurry "userId" concept in its API which is not explained, but it relies in fact on the serialization of the users used in the groups: it means that the API doesn't work when providing a fully serialized reference containing the wiki reference if the user is a local user of the wiki. It means in turn that the API doesn't allow to distinguish two users with same reference on two different wikis.

      Reproduction steps:

      • On a fresh jetty/hsqldb create a page containing:
      {{velocity}}
$services.wiki.user.isMember('XWiki.Admin', 'xwiki')
$services.wiki.user.isMember('xwiki:XWiki.Admin', 'xwiki')
{{/velocity}}

      Expected result:

      • the page should display two "true"

      Obtained result:

      • the page displays "true", "false"
