Now that I’m looking at Discourse, I see where the `owner_ids` should be being assigned. Still looking at what `user_groups.build` does and where that relationship actually gets saved. I may be misunderstanding it, but it appears that those relationships are never saved, only the `group.save` is called whereas the group\_users are only built [`build`]. Does `group.save` actually call throught to `group.group_users` to persist the relationships?

It may be that this use-case was missed because most folks create a group first and _then_ assign an owner to it. In this case the group is already persisted and you’re then using `add_owners`?

If this is the bug I think it is, this would also apply to adding group users (not just owners) within the `#create` method.
