Summary18312: Non superadministrator cannot CRUD user permissions
Description

Hi,

An admin user (all permissions EXCEPT superadministrator) is not able to see nor edit the permissions of a user created by someone else.

I put this as "block" because I need to give "superadmin" permission to my users to let them work.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce

Create two users: Alice and Bob, Give them all the permissions except "superadministrator"
Log in as Alice and create a new user: Max. Grant him whatever your want
Log in as Bob and check Max's permission.

Expected result

When logged as Bob, you expect to see the available action. Especially "Edit user" or "Edit permission" but there is none

Actual result

There is no action button. There is no way to view Max's permission even if you have the right to do so.

TagsNo tags attached.

This works as intended: users without the Superadministrator permission can only edit users they own and change those users' permissions. The description of the Users permission now says this.
