@BlackDex commented on GitHub (Aug 6, 2025):

That is a works-as-intented.

Vaultwarden does not support Can Mange for user rolls at the moment.
Only Managers support Can Manage, and Admins and Owners have full permissions always.

Vaultwarden does not have a fine grained access control configured the same as Bitwarden does.
This might change in the future once we add those features. But for now, it works fine as how we intended it.
