Summary20411: Add (admin) user to a Survey leads to error page (no right to access)
Description

Hello everyone,

I am trying to add a colleague to one of my surveys via the "add user" button in the context menu (main overview). I click on the three dots next to the survey 881533 (E-Learning-Umfrage), then "add user" or german "benutzer hinzufügen" and land on an error page saying I "You have no rights to access this [user management] page"

How can I add colleagues to help me analyze the replies and/or edit the survey? Without giving the survey to them in the "admin" field.

Thank you very much in advance

P.S.: I tried uploading sceenshots for 3 times now, dowsnt work.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce

Login to Limesurvey
In main overview, click on three dots-icon to open menü
Click "Benutzer hinzufügen" / "Add user"

Expected result

I can choose from a list of colleagues or an e-Mail address/Account, which I can add and who gets Admin rights or at least is able to work with the survey results.
E.g. inside the survey I can change the "admin user" to my colleague "Sarah Kasner". But then I would revoke my own rights.

Actual result

I land on an errorpage saying I "You have no rights to access this [user management] page"

TagsNo tags attached.

I assume you are not the superadmin of that survey site, correct?
You should contact your superadmin to give you permissions to do that.

This was a bug in the "Add user" link of the survey list, fixed in 6.16.2.
