Smart Search should not publicly display Articles for which the Category is set on Registered #47839

Description

@woluweb

What happened?

When a Category is set on anything else than Public (Registered for example), all the Articles belonging to that Category are not publicly available any more.

Even if the URL goes public, a visitor would get the following message:
403 You don't have permission to access this. Please contact a website administrator if this is incorrect.

Version

6.1

Expected result

Similarly, Smart Search should not reveal those Articles.
It should work just like the rest of Joomla: it should respect the cascade of ACL.

Actual result

Smart Search does reveal those Articles, which should not be the case to be coherent with the rest of Joomla

System Information

No response

Additional Comments

The only way to have ACL working correctly for those Articles is to

  • set each of the Articles within the Registered Category on Registered
  • clean the Smart Search Index
  • reindex
