Hi Sara,
I tested out 16.3 and the behavior you're describing is the same as how you're saying 18.2 is behaving, so this is appearing to be by design.
When testing both versions, I'm seeing the same consistent behavior where the users need to be listed in a group for the project and they also need to be at least Editors or higher.
Are you certain that the previous behavior you were seeing didn't require this? The Issue Tracker for 16.3 is pretty much the same framework as 18.2, which include how the permissions function for assignment of issues.
Regards,
