JIRA shows misleading error message when trying to assign nonexistent user to project role

      • go to administer project page -> roles
      • try to add nonexistent user to project role (for example Administartors)
      • error dialog will appear:

            This hasn't turned out to cause confusion, so I'm marking it as Won't Fix.
