      Issue Summary

      • When impersonating a user, admin should have the same permissions and restrictions as the user that they're impersonating.
      • What we see is that restricted pages are not accessible by the admin, even if the user they're impersonating is able to view and create pages.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a page and add a restriction to it, so that User A is able to view and edit.
      2. As a Site admin, log in as User A.
      3. Visit the newly created page, and the page will be restricted.

      Expected Results

      • Admin is able to view and create pages as User A when impersonating them.

      Actual Results

      • Admin is not able to, and the pages are restricted.

      Workaround

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