The is no user journal (privileges?). I am not sure if that is fine.
It needs some additional investigation.

Comment 3 Branislav Blaškovič 2016-11-23 11:43:31 UTC

This behaviour is fine, we just need to make sure in test, that we are testing on non-persistent journal, because it behaves differently with and without persistent journal.
