**[Problem/Question]**

We have an app where multiple users can use the same sendbird user.  
We have a feature with search channel by nickname.  
Search channel by nickname works for most of our users, but one reports an issue where a channel doesn’t show up. This channel shows up for other users accessing the same sendbird account.  
This seems very strange, is there any reason this could happen?

**[UIKit Version]**  
3.15.12

**[Reproduction Steps]**  
Use GroupChannelList, pass param to channelListQueryParams

**[Frequency]**  
Seems random?
