Research direction

Start by tracing the authentication path around users.is_current_user_admin() and compare behavior for the app owner and an invited admin. Reproduce the Access denied result for the owner, then establish the intended owner behavior and verify that the resulting fix or explanation covers both account types.

Description

I am getting 'Access denied' for the app owner.
I've invited another 'admin' and then can log-in.

Does this check:

if not users.is_current_user_admin():

includes a check for an app owner??
