you have either a standard acl_users folder or a user folder with groups. So you have to create a nuxeo user folder some place, recreate your existing users there, erase the old folder, and move the new one to its place. If you have lots of users (and want to keep their passwords) you have to move them with a script. I think on zopelabs there is a receipe to do it. If not I can send you one.

My zope site is already created, and I did not create it with the idea that I would be implementing user groups. Therefore, I already have an acl_users folder at the top level of my site. All of my users are defined in that folder, and all access throughout the site is inherited, except for a few local roles assigned here and there.
Now that I want to use NuxUserGroups, I have a problem: I cannot create groups at the top level. Since I already have an acl_users folder, I get an error when I try to create a "User Folder with Groups" at the root level. So I can't simply move all my existing users into a different type of user folder that supports groups.
And when I create a "User Folder with Groups"at any other level, of course my users from my root level acl_users folder are not recognized so they cannot be added to groups. So if I want to add groups at any level, I have to re-create all my users.
Does anyone have a workaround to this? Or am I overlooking a product that will let me do what I want (add groups to an existing site at the root level)?
