"Fun" Fact: ServiceNow simply passes this problem on to its users.

I've seen a list of what was supposed to be 20 items of something, it only showed 2, plus a comment "18 results were omitted to insufficient permissions".

(Servicenow has at least three different ways to do permissions, I don't know if this applies to all of them).



I'm not sure if enumerating the hidden results are a great idea :0


At least it's terrible user experience to have to click on the "more" button several times to see the number of items you actually wanted to see.

But yes, one could probably also construct a series of queries that reveal properties of hidden objects.
