Cause
Missing Business Role/Catalog Restrictions
Resolution
If multiple catalogs sharing common authorization object to different roles with different restrictions, all these roles are assigned to same user, user will have a Union of all these authorizations.
Hence, if Role A allows the authorization and Role B restricts and a user is assigned both Role A and B, then authorization status is allowed.
