Role with R/W access to app cannot change knowledge object permissions

Hello,

I'm trying to do something very simple. I am trying to give a role the ability to edit the permissions of knowledge objects in an app. I have a test VM running 7.0.8 and have followed the instructions to do this in the documentation for this version of Splunk:

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.0.8/Knowledge/Manageknowledgeobjectpermissions#Enable...

However, the users who are given Write and Read access via this role (the default 'user' role) I cannot edit anything but object I create with the user, despite everything I find online suggesting it should be otherwise:

I don't have the points to post links, just delete the spaces to get them to work.
