Viewing members of a space while in a non-space ends up showing member info details of people in that room

it was done on purpose to aid inviting a space member to your current room

Maybe a blurb above the role header saying "Role for <room/space pill>"?

tbh, I find this quite confusing rather than anything else...

As far as I can tell this makes it impossible to add new admins without modifying the power-levels event directly? Is there a workaround?

You need to view the members from the space home to get the correct member info

[novocaine]

My reproduction of this:

1. Right click on a space you are an admin of while another space, which you are not admin of, is selected (OR a room which is not in a space, which you're not an admin of)

2. Go to members
3. Click on a non-admin of the space in the right panel

What happened:

I can see member details, but without the possibility of setting the person as an admin. I think this is showing the panel for the selected space, not the one I right clicked..?

Expected:

To be able to set that member as an admin

Note: I think the behaviour is correct if you select the space prior to right-clicking on it..?

[novocaine]

I think the desired behaviour is that the member info shouldn't differ depending on whether the Space is selected or not - the context menu behaviour should be as it is when its selected.

@niquewoodhouse can you confirm please?

@novocaine I agree. I still think there's something a bit odd about that label at the top, the way it looks and fits into the hierachy, but having that consistently show makes sense to me.

The only extra thought I had was adding the Space name to the Role title so it reads Role in Space name, so its hopefully even clearer but that might not be necessary.
