If it works, I'm not exactly sure how or why it works.
I don't think I put that behavior into authorization groups.
I know that denials *do* work if specified as a password,
thus setting a password to "id:*,-Fred" or "@groupx id:-Fred"
will authorize anyone but Fred. But I'm not sure if it
works in the @group syntax in Site.AuthUser -- I might have
to look at it more closely to be sure.
