      Issue Summary

      When the org admin and/or Support logs in as/impersonates a certain user and conducts a search in Confluence, the returned results are not reflective of that impersonated user's perms and access.

       

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Log in as a user through the instance's admin UI.
      2. Once logged into Confluence as the impersonated user, conduct a quick search or advanced search on information that the impersonated user does not have access to.
      3. Observe that the returned results include information normally restricted from the impersonated user.

      Expected Results

      The search should not return information that the impersonated user does not have access to.

      Actual Results

      The search returns information normally not included in the impersonated user's access/permissions.

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available.
