loadjob returning statusCode=403, description=Forbidden when a user without admin role calls a search artifact created by a user with admin role. This works with 6.3.4. but in 6.3.5 produces the following error:

Error in 'SearchOperator:loadjob': error accessing https://127.0.0.1:8089/servicesNS/some-admin/search//saved/searches/mysearchtest/?output_mode=json, statusCode=403, description=Forbidden

This is a known bug (SPL-123305) in 6.3.5 which is fixed in 6.3.6 and 6.4.2

as a workaround you can call the search artifact by using the 'nobody' user like:
| loadjob savedsearch="nobody:search:mysearchtest"
