To restate, providing the user does not customize his or her layout, when the user's portal template attribute values changes, the portal will present the new layout and pull the user out of all past groups that it can (cannot modify read-only groups such as PAGS groups) and place this user into the new groups affiliated with the new template user, whereas in the event that a user modifies his or her layout and thereby breaks association with the template user, then even if the portal template attribute changes, the user will not receive a new layout nor will she change group membership.
