      Issue Summary

      This is reproducible on Data Center: (no)

      Automation audit log doesn't show much information for permission errors. The automation fails when the Actor of automation does not have adequate permission against the space, page or blog. Especially when the scope is set to Global (All spaces), you'll encounter this issue more frequently. The automation state becomes SOME ERRORS but there is no way to find out why.

      Steps to Reproduce

      Let's say there are 2 spaces, A and B. Alice has all permission for space A but no permission for B.

      1. Alice creates a new automation rule with scope = all spaces (Global) and Actor=Alice.
      2. Trigger the When event of the automation on space B.

      Expected Results

      The automation kicks off and the rest of the IF conditions and THEN actions are executed.

      Actual Results

      The automation does not start. Status shows SOME ERRORS.

      Workaround

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