auth.user_groups is stored in the user's session. If you (as an admin) make a change in the database, that will not affect the session of another user (which is stored in a file). We should probably make it easier to change content in a user's session (possibly by storing the name of the session file in db.auth_user -- for now, as a workaround, you could do this manually).
