As designed Test Permissions not working for notices?

[vij]

If I setup 2 notices, each for different user groups and use 'test permissions' option to check - it doesn't seem to show right results - although when I log into the user's account I can see the desired result.

Note the various caveats of testing permissions. You get the final results of the permissions, but you're still logged in as you. You're still in your user groups, etc.

The test permissions function doesn't work like that.

See the caveats listed with it here at the bottom of the page: https://xenforo.com/help/permissions/
