rest vs restadmin API Call
Hi,
I've detected an issue on our platform which I do not realy understand I am making the following call: /restapi/vc/categories/id/Forum/solutions/count
I get two different numbers depending on logged in or not. For example:
Logged in as admin/moderator: Result is 141
Logged in as a normal user or not logged in: Result is 0
Why do I get different results depending on the user role?
For now I am making the call using the restadmin function but somewhere I read this is not recommended.
Is there some misconfiguration on our platform?
Many thanks,
Michael
What you have caught is actually a permission related stuff. If you notice this on default widgets as well on lithosphere, the values change in log out and login state. What it does is when you make a admin call, it pulls data from all the private areas as well, but when you make a call as a normal user, it only fetch data from public areas.
