### Summary I cannot grant access to another group in my project. I am the owner of the subgroup the project is in, but not specifically of the project itself. I cannot grant myself ownership to that project. ### Steps to reproduce When I go to the project -> members -> invite group, only two groups are listed: I suspect those are groups I am a part of, but it's unclear why those two groups are there (because other groups I'm a member of are not listed). The group I want to add is not listed. ### Example Project I cannot reproduce this on gitlab.com. ### What is the current *bug* behavior? Only a subset of the groups of the gitlab instance are listed, presumably only the groups I'm a member of. ### What is the expected *correct* behavior? All groups should be listed or at least be selectable/searchable somehow. ### Relevant logs and/or screenshots The dialog, as a user, shows only two groups:  As an instance admin, I see way more:  ### Output of checks #### Results of GitLab environment info <!-- Input any relevant GitLab environment information if needed. --> <details> <summary>Expand for output related to GitLab environment info</summary> <pre> System information System: Debian 10 Current User: git Using RVM: no Ruby Version: 2.7.2p137 Gem Version: 3.1.4 Bundler Version:2.1.4 Rake Version: 13.0.1 Redis Version: 5.0.9 Git Version: 2.29.0 Sidekiq Version:5.2.9 Go Version: unknown GitLab information Version: 13.7.4 Revision: 2f14978e280 Directory: /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails DB Adapter: PostgreSQL DB Version: 11.9 URL: https://gitlab.torproject.org HTTP Clone URL: https://gitlab.torproject.org/some-group/some-project.git SSH Clone URL: git@gitlab.torproject.org:some-group/some-project.git Using LDAP: no Using Omniauth: yes Omniauth Providers: GitLab Shell Version: 13.14.0 Repository storage paths: - default: /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories GitLab Shell path: /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-shell Git: /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/git </pre> </details> #### Results of GitLab application Check <!-- Input any relevant GitLab application check information if needed. --> <details> <summary>Expand for output related to the GitLab application check</summary> <pre> Checking GitLab subtasks ...

I understand that we not want to list *all* groups (especially on large sites like gitlab.com) to to restrict the length of the list, but at least we should be able to find other groups we know about. PS: I did try to search for a similar issue in the issue queue, but I am getting 500 errors when searching.
