Thread:Project:Support desk/Should I use CentralAuth or shared tables?/reply (27)

I would suggest to use a global file for easily updating if you are not using one already. You just need to add or remove the global group(s) in one wiki and it / they will be added or removed on every wiki. If you decide to setup GlobalUserGroups extension on the main wiki only, global groups must be added and removed there only. Or you set it up for every wiki but you just allow adding and removing on the main wiki by default so you can add and remove global user groups on other wikis too if you grant the rights to system administrators to do so. You should set it up for every wiki and add messages for globallyblocked group in GlobalUserGroups.i18n.groups.php. But in any case, you need to set the $wgRevokePermissions part for every wiki.
