Permissions for a merged dataset not applied when a project is shared with user

[kelvin-muchiri]

Environmental Information

• Onadata version: v4.1.0

Problem description

When a merged dataset is created, the permissions are applied correctly for existing users on the project. However, when a new user is added to the project or organization, the permissions are not applied, and the user gets a 404 when they access the dataset.

Expected behavior

A user with the appropriate permissions should view a merged dataset if the user was added after the merged dataset was created

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Create a merged dataset
2. Add a user to the project or organization with the appropriate permissions to view a merged dataset.
3. Login as the user or request the user to access the dataset. They will get a 404 response.
4. Create a new merged dataset under the same project. The user can now access the latest merged dataset and will get a 200 response.

@kelvin-muchiri this issue has been resolved. Users can now view merged datasets when they are added to a project after the merged dataset was created.
