Problems Using "Bypass Branch Protections" in Organization Roles

Body

Hi, I've been attempting to make use of the Organization Roles feature to simplify some bypass lists in various organization-level rulesets.

I've noticed that the "Bypass branch protections" and "Push commits to protected branches" permissions of the repository settings in Organization Roles seem to have no effect - any users we assign this role are still required to be present on the bypass list for a ruleset or their pushes to a protected branch are denied.

I'm not sure if I'm missing a setting, misunderstanding the feature or there's a bug here.

Any help would be much appreciated.

What the Bypass Branch Protections does is allow a user to be in the "admin" list when bypass is enabled for classic branch protections. It has no effect on rulesets.

This is an opportunity to be more clear and I'm going to look into our documentation to update this!

Okay, that's great, thanks!
