Everything should work as before

We've updated the roles in v2 - only Admins and Project Owners (global user roles) have access to all users and can add them to boards. So, if a user is a project manager and also has the Admin or Project Owner role, they can add other users to any board within that project.
I believe Admins should be able to add managers to Shared projects, but not Private ones - since Private projects are intended to have only one manager and aren't visible to Admins. If you could share the steps to reproduce the issue you're seeing, it would be greatly appreciated!

We tried creating a new project that was explicitly chosen to be "shared" from the very start. And now admin couldn't add even a single manager to a project. The only options in the "Managers" tab were to assign himself as an owner, or to make project shared. We also tried re-configuring the admin account using the db:create-admin-user script, that didn't help either

Aha! The "global user roles" thing bogged me. To investigate it I set up the local planka instance (since I don't have admin account for our main instance) and found out that it is assigned on user creation and can be changed at a later time. Coming from the 1.0 versions that didn't seem obvious, since we have already added users, and didn't add users after update. Maybe adding hint onto the "managers" tab would help people like us🤔
