The setting uses a separate code path from what’s used with OAuth2 logins. Syncing groups via OAuth2 hasn’t been implemented. Being able to sync Discourse groups with groups from an external site has a lot of use cases with Discourse, so hopefully it’s something that can be implemented in the future. For now, your only option is to manage group membership via the API.
