      Summary

      When a user tries to access a Confluence page that they don't have access to, they are directed to '404 Oops, you've found a dead link' error instead of a Permission Denied or a more useful error. This also affects Anonymous users who don't have access to a page and Anonymous access is enabled in the instance.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a page and add Page Restriction to the page
      2. Let a user who doesn't have access to the page to access the direct URL of the page created on Step 1

      Expected Results

      • It should provide a Permission denied error or a more useful error. For anonymous, a login prompt, so the same will be aware that access is needed for the page.

      Actual Results

      • User is directed to '404 Oops, you've found a dead link' error
