Bug: ALLOWWEBVIEW not working for Main Web

Is this a bug or a feature?.

Basically I have a huge web and several smaller webs. I would like to force some users to only be able to access the other, non Main webs. I tried creating a group for the Main web and setting ALLOWWEBVIEW to that group in WebPreferences, but that did not work. I am guessing the Main web is handled specially because of the user topics etc... Is there a way to do the above? Create users in the non-Main webs?

Thanks for any help.
