Issue/Introduction

This article describes an issue where defining multiple folders in the USERG object authorization list causes search results to fail or return incorrect data. This issue occurs when multiple FOLD entries are entered in a single line, separated by commas.

By Design one should be able to define authorizations to multiple folders separated by commas  --

Example: a JOBP is created in both folders and a USER/USERG is configured to have read access to both folders with the below configuration within the Authorization section:

GRP: 1
TYPE: FOLD
NAME: \folderA*,\folderB*
Read: X

Expected Behavior: Upon searching for the JOBP* the objects within both these folders should be listed.
Actual Behavior: Neither is listed
