Hi everyone!

I was playing with the project permissions to understand how they work, so I set these roles, and I did it with a user having the _Developer_ role.

Then I logged in with another user, having the _View_ and _Modify_ roles. If I try to change any of the roles, I get the following warning…Why is that?

Thanks

It looks like you might have `'Developer '` with a space or similar. Did you try deleting the whole field and adding `Developer` again?

Unfortunately it has nothing to do with spaces. I tested this functionality on my own many times while I was waiting for some answers and I think I figured it out.  
The warning seems to be related to the roles of the logged in user. When in _ **Project → Permissions** _ you enter at least one role in one of the fields, it must be a role you’ve been assigned to, otherwise you get the red X on the right and if you press _ **Apply** _, the warning I posted pops up.
