  * 1. Problem description and statement                         *
  * this issue is happening for iRAM since they have migrated to *
  * RAM 7512. the issue is that they are getting following       *
  * warning when creating assets using RAM API:                  *

  * The issue is reproducible using iRAM CDT server but not our  *
  * RAm server.                                                  *
  * iRAM says this issue is not happening when they are using    *
  * RAM admin - super admin user.                                *
  *                                                              *
  * A brief chat with Peter, he explained it to me that the      *
  * warning msg is in the method                                 *
  * RAMCategorySchema.getRestrictedCommunities()                 *
  * He guesses occurs when that schema is restricted to specific *
  * community and probably that person running the api doesn't   *
  * have access so the community.                                *
  *                                                              *
  * Checking the permision of the user who is running the API    *
  * shows that this is correct. The person who is running the    *
  * API does not have access to the communities listed by        *
  * warnings.                                                    *
  *                                                              *
  * Now the questions are :                                      *
  * - of course we cannot get access to all the communities to   *
  * all users. What is the benefit of showing these warnings to  *
  * the user?                                                    *
  * - These warnings make users confuse why they are getting     *
  * them. How can they avoid them?                               *
  * - why is it started since migration to 7512?                 *
  *                                                              *
  * this log information this function returned before 7512 is   *
  * used foe debug, because getSession().getCommunity(id) in     *
  * this function returned all communities. Now since            *
  * getSession().getCommunity returns only communities users has *
  * access to, then some communities can not be return. There is *
  * no need for user to know the information about the id of     *
  * communities they can not access to.                          *
