The following is about usernames and groupnames written in the
SiteAdmin.AuthUser page.
A username starts with a letter a-z, digit 0-9 or underscore _ and must not
contain spaces or the colon : character.
A groupname starts with @ and must not contain spaces or the colon :
character.
If a line doesn't match the format PmWiki expects, it is simply ignored.

Yes, they are.
If it is at all possible, you'll have no trouble if your usernames and
groupnames are as simple as possible, with letters A-Z, digits 0-9 and the
dash - character, like what is allowed for wiki pages in the Profiles/ group.
