i have noticed that Context.hasPrivilege receives so many calls and ends up evaluating to true most of the times at runtime with wrong privilege argument, has anyone encountered this?

</div>

Can you give an example or a unit test where this evaluates to true with the wrong privilege argument?

Hi @k.josephI encountered a similar issue in the dhisconnector module.

To test that, I created a unit test like this:

```
@Test
public void testPrivileges(){
	Assert.assertTrue(Context.hasPrivilege("FooBar"));
}

```

This test passed everytime even if there’s no privilege called “FooBar”.

Could you please help me to figure it out. Thanks in advance
