Knowledge search: ACLs remove records from list, but not the search result count

An Access Control rule may limit visibility to records in knowledge search, but does not handle the record count appropriately.

 

1. Open the kb_knowledge read record ACL, and remove the Public role from the Requires role related list.
2. Replace the script with:
   if(current.category=='Outlook' && !gs.hasRole('admin'))
   answer = 'false';
   else
   answer = 'true';
3. Log out as Admin and log back in as Joe Employee.
4. Navigate to Self-Service > Knowledge and search Outlook.
5. Notice that no results appear, in particular, the page count is hidden.
