When I threw this into an application, I ran into a problem with not having
an execute privilege (which was odd), but once that was added, it returned
true in the application as well as query console. The execute privilege I
had to add was http://marklogic.com/xdmp/privileges/get-user

When that was missing, though, I got a 500 error, not false. Not sure this
helps you at all, but I am seeing "true" for any user both in QC and an
app. I am running v.5.0-3.3
