Paul, Does this still apply? I'm able to add groups to groups just fine. I think enforcing the list to existing users (or groups) has been disabled.

The current JQueryAjaxHelper uses a format that works only for users. It still doesn't work for me: *Group suggestions are not present in the add members autocomplete

Paul, I've spent quite a few hours on this today - the JQueryAjaxHelper seems to have changed a lot since your patch - I'm getting lost in the nested quotes and percents and dollars. I'm beginning to wonder if it makes more sense to update the USERINFO macro to return some similar information if the target is a groupname instead of a username. A group being a special form of a "user".

Ok. I need to revisit this at a later date.
