    Description

      This issue was found on design.xwiki.org. Since design wiki is a subwiki, it is not supposed to have local users. After a clean-up, I've deleted leftover users from this wiki, this leading to the removal of group object from XWiki.XWikiAllGroup. (Although in 5.2 XWIKI-6275 should be already fixed).

      Since XWiki.XWikiAllGroup will not contain anymore an XWiki.XWikiGroups, although it has rights set, they will not be displayed in Administration - Rights, but the rights were active, preventing Unregistered Users from viewing the content.

      There should be a way to display all active rights even if the 'entities' (groups, users) are supposed to be 'deleted'/'removed'.
