Whenever I try to update a user in the system, the user does not update. I am owner so I should have all rights. I am unable to both remove and add roles to a user, but I can update the name. This happens no matter what role the user already has. ---

Hi Petter, Can you open chrome dev tools and report back any error messages related to failed requests when performing these operations? I tried to reproduce this issue, but was not able to. ---

Hi again, We discussed this internally, and this is actually a known issue. The visuals are not updated, but the changes are applied.
