I am not usre if you are insterested in #4042 or #4043.

I can reproduce #4042 and did not investigate it yet.

Currently I am not able to reproduce #4043 with a9. Also I cannot
reproduce #4067 with a9. I hope to find some time in the next days to
investigate it more. And it is 2 years already I was debugging RBAC
related issues, so it takes time to refresh knowledge :-(

Best regards,

Milan
