      Summary

      If a user has the 'Assign User' permission but not the 'Edit Issue' permission they are no longer able to assign users under the new issue view due to the 'Assign' button no longer being present.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a user within a project (that has new issue view).
      2. Assign this user 'Assign User' permission.
      3. Ensure they do not have 'Edit Issue' permission.
      4. Check they have all other permissions required to view the issue.
      5. Open an issue in the new issue view and try to change the assignee.

      Expected Results

      The assignee field should be editable or the assign button should be present. The use should be able to change the assignee field without the 'Edit Issue' permission.

      Actual Results

      The assignee is not editable nor is the assign button present. The user requires the 'Edit Issue' permission.

      Notes

      New issue view only

      Workaround

      Switch back to the old issue view as this makes the 'Assign' button viewable again, or grant the 'Edit Issue' permission to the user.
