 * I use a multisited WordPress to support a large number of sites. Each of the 
   site owners needs to be able to set up protected pages with group-based access
   restrictions. The most sane way of doing this would seem to be to allow site 
   owners to create and delete special restricted users (not a problem) and assign
   access rights to them (handled by a slightly customized User Access Manager plugin).
 * There is one problem, however: Users need to be unique within the entire network
   so if someone has already signed up for one site they can’t sign up for any other
   site in the network. (Well, technically they already are but they don’t know 
   that.)
 * What I need is something that uses the regular WordPress login form, new user
   mail etc. but doesn’t pollute the network-wide user table. Essentially, a way
   of storing users in a per-site table and making them transparently accessible
   to certain core WordPress functions. I don’t mind of the per-site users are just
   the bare minimum neccessary to log in and read protected content.
 * What would be the least-invasive way of doing that? I’m not enthusiastic about
   becoming incompatible with vanilla WordPress and having to port my changes to
   every new version by hand.
