I have already found a solution thanks to super_ik's and Dolapevich's comments on Reddit.

The failure was that I had not created the user in the server. The solution in my specific case was to create "user2"user2 and add it to the group "wholegroup"wholegroup which was already created previously on the server.

I quote from super_ik's comment: "If I recall correctly the access checking is performed on the server side and the server only receives the uid and gid of the process accessing the folder. If the server does not know these UIDs it also can’t lookup their secondary groups."
