## Acceptance criteria

  - Available to administrators that are allowed to modify project attributes

  - When the custom field is linked with a project role and the field was not used on any projects before, nothing happens

  - When the custom field has been used in projects and there are users filled in the field, when linking the custom field with a role, the memberships of existing users are edited and the role is added to their membership.

  - When the linked role is changed, the old role is removed from the memberships of the affected users and the new role is added

  - When the linked role is removed, the old role is removed from the memberships. Users that only had that one role as membership, get their membership removed
