Hello DSpace community, 

We would like to clarify the behaviour of the item counts on Community and 
Collection pages, particularly for restricted/embargoed items. More 
specifically, it has been brought to our attention that the item counts 
that appear in the Communities & Collections page will show the total 
items, including those that are fully restricted/embargoed (e.g., items 
that should be visible to admin only). When clicking through to the 
Collection results, the expected number of results appears, but the number 
is higher on the Communities & Collections page. The Collections page 
search results are correct (good as this means the restricted items are not 
appearing to an unintended audience) but the number on the Collections 
landing page is somewhat misleading. 

Example: when not logged in, Communities & Collections page shows 3 items 
(including 1 that is fully restricted) but the Collections page shows 2 
item results.

We are curious if this discrepancy is a bug or simply how the 
Community/Collection count badge works in DSpace - that is, it shows a 
count of all published (archived) items in the badge, regardless of present 
authorizations? 

Note: We also ran the index-discovery command manually for this Collection 
but did not notice a change in the numbers after doing so. 

Thanks (and apologies if we missed this reported on either the DSpace or 
DSpace-angular GitHubs!)
