Review Comment:
   I added a log statement in SecurityOperation.targetUserExists, this is 
printed in the tserver log:
   
   ```
   2022-10-06T11:47:52,320 [security.SecurityOperation] ERROR: User does not 
exist.

    I don't know enough about this area of the code to understand why this is 
being thrown. SecurityOperation.hasSystemPermission calls 
`casAskAboutOtherUsers` which authenticates the user, but then it calls 
_hasSystemPermission which ends up throwing the error that the user doesn't 
exist.
