> RANGER-5627 added config-based super users correctly via the {{superUser}} flag and {{{}isUserAdmin(){}}}. The same change also granted all UI modules to every DB key-admin by adding {{|| userSession.isKeyAdmin()}} in {{{}resetUserModulePermission(){}}}.
> That is unintended: key-admin should retain DB-scoped module permissions ({{{}findAccessibleModulesByUserId{}}}). Config super-users already receive all modules through {{isUserAdmin()}} ({{{}superUser || userAdmin{}}}).
> Impact without fix: DB key-admin gains Security Zone read access; zone REST APIs return HTTP 200 instead of 400 for users who should be denied.
> Fix: Use {{getAllModuleNames()}} only when {{{}userSession.isUserAdmin(){}}}.
