Wondering what "Default Group" means?
A default group defines how you may appear to other users, for example your username colouration, avatar, rank, etc. So, in order to have their usernames change the colour to the group you want, you will have to make it their default group. It will only change the avatar or rank from the user, if you've assigned these when Editing a Group.
