- Description
Currently, users cannot join groups even when the `userChoice` option (“User can assign himself or herself to the group”) is enabled, unless they also have additional group-related permissions.
This change allows self-assignment when `userChoice` is enabled, without requiring extra permissions.
The `userChoice` option is intended to allow users to join groups themselves, not to grant permission to add other users. Requiring `group_add_member` contradicts this purpose.
The `group_add_member` permission remains enforced when adding other users.
This aligns the behavior with the expected purpose of `userChoice` groups.
