The $HtpasswordDefaultGroup configuration parameter is only meaningful
when using both .htpasswd AND .htgroup files: in this case, when a new
user is added into the .htpasswd file, he's also registered as a user
of the specified group in a related .htgroup file.
In your configuration, you seemed to forget to specify the group
definition file.

You should try with an extra line like:

 $AuthUser['htgroup'] = 'local/user/.htgroup';

You should therefore be able to edit this file, to define there the
'User' group and reference your users into it.
