User Groups: User Groups will allow for the Selection of an existing Group, along with an option to set which Roles apply from the User Group for the default assignment. Please note that this is dependent on whether or not 'Consider Roles' was selected while creating the user group.
Users: Users will allow the selection of the existing user to receive the default assignment.
