Permissions needed to update user group was created by Flups22
Hi, in the user permissions in LimeSurvey (3.27.x), regarding user groups, we see the permissions to create, update, view, and delete user groups. My scenario is:
1. a user group is created by someone
2. someone else updates the group by adding or removing users to it
This user is a member of the group in question and has the permissions to view and update user groups and view users (in order to be able to add them to the group).
In my understanding, these view and update permissions should be enough for this purpose - and the create permission should only be required for creating new user groups.
Surprisingly, these permissions do not seem to be sufficient. Obviously, the create permission has to be set as well, otherwise the buttons and dialogues required for adding or removing users to an existing group don't show.
Can someone enlighten me on this? Thanks in advance!

Check with Group member can only see own group ON/OFF
manual.limesurvey.org/Global_settings#Security
Unsure it's OK, but if not : report the issue.
