      Issue Summary

      Confluence admin (super user) or user in the confluence-administrators group is able to see content of all pages and spaces in the Confluence instance, regardless of space permissions or restrictions.

      However, while trying to located pages in the "All Labels" page (<confluence-url/labels/listlabels-alphaview.action?key=<spacekey>), the admin user will not see restricted pages in the list, unless the admin user is part of the restricted list.

      This is reproducible on Data Center: (yes)

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. As user 1, create a page and restricted it to only user 1
      2. Add a label to the page
      3. Create user 2 and assign confluence-administrators membership to user 2
      4. Login as user 2 and user 2 should be able to see the page (due to admin privilege)
      5. As user 2, go to the "All Labels" page and locate the page

      Expected Results

      User 2 can see the restricted page in the list due to "super user" privilege

      Actual Results

      User 2 can't see the restricted page in the list

      Workaround

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