Known specifics

Owner only: only the chat owner can add managers, neither a manager nor a regular participant.

Additive operation: new managers are added to the existing ones rather than replacing them.

Users not in the chat are ignored: if userIds contains IDs of users who are not chat participants, they are skipped without an error.
