Summary

Project import/creation behavior is not consistent for administrators when creating a project from home screen and when doing it inside the group.

Steps to reproduce

• Login as an administrator and make note of groups that you own
• on Your home screen, click New Project > Import Project > GitLab Export (or any other method) and try to find the group that you do not own in the dropdown

What is the current bug behavior?

You won't be able to select the group that you do not own in the dropdown as they won't be shown there.

What is the expected correct behavior?

For administrators, it should be possible to select group that you do not own in the dropdown.
