One of the less intuitive things about UserAuth is that granting a
privilege to any user will effectively deny that privilege to all other
users. So when you gave edit_group privs to one user, that overrode the
global edit privs on the other user. So the other user now needs to
either be edit_group-GroupName as well, or edit_all. Hope this helps.
