I have searched the existing issues, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate report.

The bug

I have person A and person B
Person A shares an album with person B as editor
Person B logs in to Immich, goes to the album, and clicks the users
Person B sees himself as owner (wrong!) and himself as editor (right)
Checking the API shows the correct values though

Issue:
