Description Peter Symonds 2012-01-01 16:13:31 UTC 
There appears to be an error when assigning global user rights to a global account with spaces. Earlier I tested it by assigning my test account global IP block exempt:

(show/hide) 16:08, 1 January 2012 PeterSymonds (talk | contribs | block) changed global group membership for User:Peter Symonds from global-ipblock-exempt to (none) ‎ (done)
(show/hide) 16:07, 1 January 2012 PeterSymonds (talk | contribs | block) changed global group membership for User:Peter Symonds from (none) to global-ipblock-exempt ‎ (testing bug in global rights interface; will revert in a few seconds) 

The following message was thrown back:

"The global user PeterSymonds_(test) is not active on the wiki you specified ( aawiki ). You may be attempting to assign rights to the wrong user!"

Despite this message, as the log shows, the right was assigned successfully. Furthermore, I didn't attempt to assign the right on aawiki; it was assigned on Meta-Wiki.
Comment 1 Peter Symonds 2012-01-01 16:16:54 UTC 
Sorry, I tested it twice, with two accounts. The error message appeared both times, for "PeterSymonds (test)" and "Peter Symonds".
Comment 2 Nemo 2012-01-01 17:31:12 UTC 
Looks similar to bug 24826, caused by wrong username normalization (and at least partially fixed).
