📔 Objective
This PR resolves an issue where sponsored families created by an organization owner, admin, or custom user with "Manage Users" permission via the Admin Console > Members > Free Bitwarden Families page were incorrectly shown in the individual vault under Settings > Free Bitwarden Families. These entries should only appear in the Admin Console’s Sponsored Families table, not in the admin user’s personal vault interface.
Problem Description:
Currently, when an admin user adds a sponsorship from the Admin Console and the invitee accepts and creates a sponsored organization, that sponsorship is incorrectly shown in two places:
✅ Admin Console > Sponsored Families table (correct)
❌ Vault > Settings > Free Bitwarden Families (incorrect for the admin who added it)
This is misleading because the admin never redeemed the sponsorship for themselves and should not see those orgs in their personal sponsored families list.
