Symptoms

When selecting "About this Space" on a Space that you are not a member of, the Page just refreshes and doesn't displays the Space information.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

Either it should provide information about the Space to determine if you want to join.


STEPS

The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

1. Created the following users:
   testuser1
   testuser2
   
   
2. Sign in to Spaces as testuser1 and crated the following Group Spaces with the indicated Access Level:
   
   
• GS_Public
  Public: Anyone can visit this Space.
  
  
• GS_Private
  Private: People must be invited to join this Space. The Space will appear in search results and in the list of available Spaces.
  
  
• GS_Hidden
  Hidden: People must be invited to join this Space.The Space will not appear in search results or in the list of available Spaces.
  
  
3. Sign In to Spaces as testuser2 and go to Spaces -> Browse Spaces. The user is able to see only the following Group Spaces as expected:
   
   
• GS_Public
• GS_Private
  
  
4. Right Click GS_Public and select:
   About -> About this Space
   
   This shows the space information as expected as this is a Public Space.
   
   
5. Right Click GS_Private and select:
   About -> About this Space
   
   This only refreshes the page and doesn't provide the Space information.
   This is unexpected. If there is a link to "About this Space" it is expected to see the Space information.
