there's really not enough detail here to see, but the only way associating two
existing objects together creates a row is if "secondary" is used, here if
"user_groups" is mapped as a secondary somewhere, which I do not see. if
you've mapped to a table explicitly, you should not use that table as the
"secondary" argument elsewhere, or the relationship with "secondary" should be
set up as viewonly=True.
