Conversation
The role was documented as unable to list users and groups. It can view them, from 8.0.1. Corrected the section intro and the Security row of the role table, which said "Cannot view or change users or groups". The same page already contradicted this at the Read-Only Admin role, which states that in 8.0 the permission to list users and groups was split off into ro_security_admin.

Fixes DOC-14084.
What changed
modules/learn/pages/security/roles.adoc, in Read-Only Security Admin. Two places said the role cannot see users and groups.And the Security row of the role table:
The ticket cites only the section text. The table said the same thing and would have been left contradicting the fix.
Sources
ro_security_adminshould be able to see users and groupsro-security-adminrole", where "these permissions" is "read security information including listing users and groups"The page contradicted itself, which is what makes this establishable without waiting on engineering.
Open question for the reviewer
Keep the "As of Couchbase Server 8.0.1" qualifier, or state it flatly?
The ticket says the server behaviour was also wrong and was fixed in 8.0.1, so on 8.0.0 the role genuinely could not view users and groups. I kept the qualifier because this branch documents all of 8.0.x and a flat statement would be wrong for 8.0.0 readers. If the convention here is to document current behaviour without per-patch qualifiers, drop the second line.
Verification
The build cannot check a permissions claim. That rests on the sources above.
