Owner can't force push to a Protected Repo which has 'Developers can push' enabled

Hello,

This may be by design, but I found when trying to force push as an Owner of a repo I was blocked with the message;

remote: GitLab: You are not allowed to force push code to a protected branch on this project.

So I attempted to check off the 'Developers can push' setting thinking as Owner is higher level then Developer that it would then allow me. This sadly wasn't the case and had to remove the Protection of the branch to be able to push.

Would assume that Master and Owner would be higher level then Developers and so when 'Developers can push' is set I would assume both these roles would have the permission as well.

Thanks
