How to autopromote user to group?

I am trying to autopromote users to the "superuser" group on login, but it is not working

LocalSettings.php

// Super user group
$wgAddGroups['superuser'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['superuser']['read'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['superuser']['edit'] = true;

Login plugin

 $wgAutopromote = array('superuser');

Auto promote is deceptive and does not work in my experience. I ended up having to add the user to the group in my auth plugin extension. I believe I used the add group method from the User object, I'll have to double-check that.

You want all logged in users to have "superuser" privileges? Simplest approach would be to add additional user rights to the existing user user group, rather than creating a new user group.

$wgGroupPermissions['user']['some_user_right'] = true;

See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights.

According to the MediaWiki manual on $wgAutopromote, $wgAutopromote is an associative array.

You could try one of the following:

$wgAutopromote = array('superuser' => array( APCOND_EDITCOUNT, 0 ));

Or

$wgAutopromote = array(
        'superuser' => array( '&',
                array( APCOND_EDITCOUNT, 0 ),
        ),
);

I don't have a live copy of MediaWiki with me right now, so I don't know which one is going to work, though I have a hunch that the second will likely work.
