This is a special group all authenticated users belong. The main use of this group is to lift a web level restriction at the topic level.
This is close to AllUsersGroup. The difference is that unauthenticated users belong to AllUsersGroup but not to AllAuthUsersGroup.
Let's say a web is viewable only by the members of the DarkSideGroup by the following line on WebPreferences.
* Set ALLOWWEBVIEW = Main.DarkSideGroup
By putting the following line on a topic, you can make it viewable by anybody authenticated.
* Set ALLOWTOPICVIEW = Main.AllAuthUsersGroup
This topic is not necessary for the group to work because the group is implemented in the code instead of a topic that has members.
