Problem Statement

Issue Description

When using the indexcount API, it does not respect the permissions of the logged-in user, while the query API does. This inconsistency causes issues with pagination in our image browser.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Log in to demo with a user with limited permissions (e.g., "Contributer").
2. Use the following API call to get the index count of the image content type /api/content/indexcount/+contentType
3. Use the following API call to query images: /api/content/query/+contentType/limit/20/offset/0
4. Observe that the index count API returns a count that does not respect the user's permissions, whereas the query API returns the correct results based on permissions.

Expected Behavior

The indexcount API should return the count of images that the logged-in user has permission to view.

Actual Behavior

The indexcount API returns the total count of all images, ignoring the user's permissions.
