Public bug reported:

I updated a user's auth method from 'No Institution' to 'AUTldap (AUT
University)'. When I searched for the user name under Manage Users ->
User Search, the user's record under the column of Institution was still
showing 'No Institution'.  Although, the auth method information does
show correctly on the Account settings page. The mahara version is
1.2.4.

Here is Richard's reply to this issue: 
The problem is with the user account settings page, which basically assumes that the admin knows what they're doing, and allows you to do silly things like giving a user an auth method from an institution that she/he doesn't belong to.

We should add code to stop auth methods from other institutions from
showing in the auth method dropdown
