      Issue Summary

      When a user with view-only access to the database adds a comment, it is not visible to other users. However, if the comment is added by a user with edit access, it is visible to all users.

      Steps to Reproduce

      • Create a Database.
      • Add a user with only view access to the Database.
      • Have the view-only user add a comment to the Database.
        • Observe that the comment is not visible to other users unless resolved.
      • Add a comment using an account with edit access.
        • Notice that this comment is visible to the view-only user.
      • Change the view-only user's access to edit and add a comment.
        • This comment is visible to other users.
      • Revert the user's access back to view-only and add another comment.
        • Again, the comment is not visible to other users.

      Expected Results

      Comments added by users with view access should be visible to all users, regardless of their access level.

      Actual Results

      Comments added by users with view access are not visible to other users unless the comments are resolved.

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