User Receive Email Notification Eventhough User No Longer has View Page permission

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Create new space. Eg: SpaceA
      2. Create a new user . Eg: johndoe
      3. Create a new page in the SpaceA . Eg: Test Page1
      4. Login as johndoe and watch the page in SpaceA
      5. Login as administrator and remove johndoe or his group from being able to view the page
      6. Edit the page that johndoe has watched
      7. Immediately add johndoe and his group to be able to view the page again

       

      Expected Result

      johndoe will not receive the notification while he does not have view access to the page

       

      Actual Result

      johndoe will receive the notification when he is does not have the view access to the page.

       

      Observation Notes:

      The notification seems to be send out if the Permission/Restriction was added within length of Send Batch Notification. To clarify this further , if the Send Batch Notification is set to 10 minutes, if the user is able to view the page within 10 minutes after the page modification, the user will receive the email notification. eg:

      1. Create new space. Eg: SpaceA
      2. Create a new user . Eg: johndoe
      3. Create a new page in the SpaceA . Eg: Test Page1
      4. Login as johndoe and watch the page in SpaceA
      5. Login as administrator and remove johndoe or his group from being able to view the page
      6. Edit the page that johndoe has watched
      7. After 11 minutes since the page was modified, add johndoe and his group to be able to view the page again
      8. Then, the johndoe will not receive the notification
