We are on version 0.5.20.

Does it work when you upgrade?

You must not be on the latest version as you are missing "Features Permissions".

I would recommend upgrading.

You are correct. I've updated the wrong container. Now after update i see with the group permissions (all user are in one group) :

But the problem is still the same.
