I have a website with multiple security groups, and I've been manually adding some forum users to another group for access to restricted areas. However, when doing this, I've been losing the forum fields (nickname, etc.). What's happening is that the autocomplete only autocomplete's the basic fields, and leaves the forum ones blank. After adding, it update's the user's records, deleting all of the forum fields. A workaround is to memorize the user's details (or leaving the details open in another window), and enter them manually, but that's definitely an annoying way to work

I would submit a ticket, but I'm not sure which module is the problem here. I also wish that there were a more intuitive method of adding a user to multiple groups; for example, a group edit box in the edit user window.

I would think you are on the right track here. I would assign it as a CMS Security section bug as the forum (and other modules) shouldnt need to worry about this functionality and managing a user with multiple groups would be a much better way to solve the issues you have as well.
