I am using Drupal 11 with Group module (version 3.3.5).
I created several group roles with the visibility setting “Scoped: Insiders (can be assigned to members inside this group)”.
However, when I try to add a user to the group through:
Group → Members → Add Group Membership
the role selection dropdown only shows roles marked as “Individual”.
All roles configured as “Insiders” are missing and cannot be assigned.
What I have checked / confirmed:
The user has the global role Authenticated.
Each group role is properly created and enabled.
The roles have correct permissions to view content.
Cache cleared multiple times.
I tried recreating groups and roles – same issue.
No custom code affecting the behavior.
According to documentation and past issues, Insider roles should appear in the membership form.
Expected behavior:
When adding a user to a group, the form should display all group roles valid for members, including roles with visibility “Insiders”, not only Individual roles.
Actual behavior:
Only roles with visibility = Individual appear in the Add Membership form.
All Insider-scoped roles are missing, so they cannot be assigned through the UI.
Additional notes:
I found similar reports:
https://www.drupal.org/project/group/issues/3488619
https://www.drupal.org/project/group/issues/3456864
This issue makes it impossible to manage member roles normally and forces the use of Individual roles, which breaks access control (Node Access overrides Group access).
Environment:
Drupal: 11.2.2
Group: 3.3.5
PHP: 8.3.27
No custom modules affecting access or membership forms.

ckaotikScoped group roles are automatically synchronized with the configured site role. The description also explains this briefly:
If you want to manually add users to group roles, you need to use the individual scope:
