"Default User Associations" in the Settings > Users section of the Control Panel (Enterprise Admin portlet > Settings in 5.1.7) can now be configured to work with existing users. When an existing user signs into the portal, the user's will automatically synchronized with the default associations. Currently, if a new default association is added, only new users will have the new association.

To enable this improvement, set the following in portal(-ext).properties

admin.sync.default.associations=false
