Problem
We currently have an inconsistency in how the Owner and Maintainer roles function at the group versus project level in terms of the permission model. This creates a confusing UX for users and makes the permission model difficult and maintain.
- Member management:
- Group Owners can manage members in a group
- Project Maintainers can manage members in a project
This technical debt exists because originally the owner role only existed at the group level and Maintainers were the highest project-level role but the permissions never got realigned.
With organizations coming online this will add another layer to our hierarchy where members can be added with roles. Ensuring a role behaves similarly across all layers of the hierarchy will provide a more intuitive experience for our users and will also simplify our core authorization logic.
