Issue
- Site Administrators are unable to add user groups as members of the site they manage.
Resolution
- This is currently an intended behavior as the Site Administrator role by default does not have the permissions to view and update User Groups. A Feature Request ticket has been created to request that Site Administrators and Site Owners by default have the ability to assign User Groups to their sites: LPS-79660.
- In the meantime, a temporary workaround can be implemented by creating and assigning a new regular role with the following permissions:
- User Groups > User Group: Update
- User Groups > User Group: View
With this additional role, users with the Site Administrator role should be able to assign user groups to a site.
