you have either a standard acl_users folder or a user folder with  groups.
So you have to create a nuxeo user folder some place, recreate  your
existing users there, erase the old folder, and move the new one to its
place. If you have lots of users (and want to keep their passwords) you have
to move them with a script. I think on zopelabs there is a receipe to do it.
If not I can send you one.

> My zope site is already created, and I did not create it with the idea
that I would be implementing user groups. Therefore, I already have an
acl_users folder at the top level of my site. All of my users are defined in
that folder, and all access throughout the site is inherited, except for a
few local roles assigned here and there.
>
> Now that I want to use NuxUserGroups, I have a problem: I cannot create
groups at the top level. Since I already have an acl_users folder, I get an
error when I try to create a "User Folder with Groups" at the root level. So
I can't simply move all my existing users into a different type of user
folder that supports groups.
>
> And when I create a "User Folder with Groups"at any other level, of course
my users from my root level acl_users folder are not recognized so they
cannot be added to groups. So if I want to add groups at any level, I have
to re-create all my users.
