Unable to add users to protected branch rules.

Summary

With 11.7.3 users are unable to be added successfully to protected branch rules.

You cannot create a new rule/branch/wildcard with any users selected, and any updates to existing rules with users don't work either. Doesn't appear to be any specific errors or non-success response codes.

Steps to reproduce

  • Create new project/repository (with a master branch)
  • Navigate to Settings > Repository > Protected Branches
  • Select Branch and set a user in the Allowed to merge and/or Allowed to push fields.
  • Protect -> Verify no new rule was created.

Reproduced on 11.7.3, and currently reproducible on gitlab.com Not reproducible on 11.6.5
