Regular user searching for other users of the namespace - not possible any more

It seems that in Cognos Analytics (11.0.9) it is not possible for regular non-admin users to search for other users of the authentication namespace, for example when selecting recipients of an email delivery of a report or setting permissions of a folder.
In C10 this was possible.

In CA, the only user that can be found is the user doing the search.

Can't figure a capability/permission that controls this.
Am I missing something? Might this be intentional?

edit/update: When using Cognos Connection in Cognos Analytics, non-admin user can search and find all other users so this limitation seems to be a "feature" of the new Cognos Analytics user interface.

We have seen that issue in our 11.0.8 environment but not in 11.0.10 (our test env) anymore. This is an issue resolved in 11.0.10.
