    Description

      When we create a new user on one of our magnolia instances (QUAL and PROD), for example "poweruser", and associate the group "publisher" and the role "superuser" to this new account and then log in with "poweruser", we can only see following roles on "Security => ROLES":

      • publisher
      • workflow-base

      The user "poweruser" can not see the role "superuser", therefor can't create a user with the role "superuser". We are sure this was possible a couple of releases ago.
      It seems like a user can only see the userroles the account is associated with, excluding the role superuser. It makes no difference if the user was created as "USER" or "SYSTEM USER"...

      This means we can only create new accounts assiciated with the role "superuser" by logging in as "superuser"... strange.

      Did something change with the user/role management in magnolia? OR do we have a problem with our magnolia instances?

      Thank you for your help!

      Regards,
      Gino
