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.

Blocking a user prevents them from interacting with repositories, such as opening or commenting on pull requests or issues. Learn more about blocking a user.
