I am going off of @trash’s explanation… I’ve shied away from using this feature because of the potential problems it could cause.

> Yes If you have more than one primary groups (for example groups A and B) and a user of A enter in the group B, the last group (B) will be automatically set as primary. Admins can change the primary group for each user I don’t know about titles but in my memory some configurations of the group remain even if a user leave the group (e.g. if you set the group to assign TL4, when a user leave the group he still remain to TL4).
