Description
With plone.app.testing 4.2.5 you can look up test_user_1_ roles but when you look up its permissions you get UserNotFoundError, even if you specify an object context:
(Pdb) api.user.get_roles(username='test_user_1_')
['Manager', 'Authenticated']
(Pdb) api.user.get_permissions(username='test_user_1_')
*** UserNotFoundError:
(Pdb) api.user.get_permissions(username='test_user_1_', obj=submission)
*** UserNotFoundError:
The user definitely exists:
(Pdb) api.user.get_users()
[<MemberData at /plone/portal_memberdata/test_user_1_ used for /plone/acl_users>]

Research direction
Start by reproducing the discrepancy between api.user.get_roles(), api.user.get_permissions(), and api.user.get_users() for test_user_1_, both with and without the submission object context. Trace the permission lookup entry point and compare it with the working role lookup; done means get_permissions() recognizes the existing user and returns its permissions in both cases.
