Group maintainer cannot add members

Summary

Hi,

according to the documentation a maintainer should be able to add members to a group. https://gitlab.inf.ethz.ch/help/user/permissions.md

Unfortunately only an owner is able to add a new member using the URL https://gitlab.example.com/groups/MYGROUP/-/group_members

I am running the latest version of Gitlab-Ce (11.1.0) with Omnibus installation.

Steps to reproduce

Create a user and add it to a group with permission "Maintainer" Login as that user and try to add a new member

What is the current bug behavior?

Cannot see form to add new member when logged in as a groups maintainer

What is the expected correct behavior?

Should see form to add new member when logged in as a groups maintainer
