Groups in Mediawiki

We recently installed a new Mediawiki version and all their associated components.
Mediawiki – 1.23.1
AccessControlExtension – 2.1

We noticed that some features didnt’t work, specifically in what concerns access restriction for some pages. In the past we used groups, defined from a page, like this :
a new page was created using … title=Usergroup:Group_A , with this content (list of users)

* user2
* user3

to allow only these users, on restricted pages, to edit them, we started a new page with:

Group_A

Now, this doesn’t work. They don’t have permissions, even to view the page. Can anybody give me a tip on how to solve this? Thank you very much

Hi Pedroo,

It sounds as if the extension may not be functioning properly. We would be glad to take a look and see if we can assist in any way. Can you please contact support by opening a ticket through backstage? Once it comes in, we’ll gladly see if anything stands out that might be causing the problems.
