User assigned policy is removed during push

[TomSteer]

Describe the bug
When a policy is assigned at the user level, running a push will remove the assignment.
This was fixed in version 3.2.1 but seems to be happening again in version 3.2.3

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Assign a policy to a user in Directus
Run directus-sync push
Open user account in Directus
See policy is no longer assigned
Expected behavior
As users aren't included as part of the sync I would've expected it not to remove the policy assignment.

Versions:

Directus-Sync version: 3.2.3
Directus version: 11.3.5
Database: MSSQL
Directus environment Docker/Self-hosted

@TomSteer I couldn't reproduce the issue. I will add more testing.
If you revert to previous version (npx directus-sync@3.2.2 push), does it work ?

Hi @EdouardDem ,

Downgrading to 3.2.2 still results in the same issue. However, downgrading to 3.2.1 does fix the issue. I'm not sure what other effects this might have, as I recall you mentioned that 3.2.2 fixes a regression from the 3.2.1 fix.

If you need any more information then just let me know. Thanks again for looking into the issue!

Hi @EdouardDem, Any luck on narrowing this one down? Is there an edge we should be aware of if we downgrade to 3.2.1?

[TomSteer]

@EdouardDem I think I've narrowed the issue down. It only seems to happen for policies that aren't assigned to a role.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Create a policy in Directus that isn't assigned to a user or role.
Run directus-sync pull
Assign the policy to a user in Directus
Run directus-sync push
Open user account in Directus
See policy is no longer assigned
Expected behavior
As users aren't included as part of the sync I would've expected it not to remove the policy assignment.

@TomSteer Thank you for pointing this solution.
I'm a bit busy these days. You could use version 3.2.1 until I fix the error.
