Manage Users Bug?

[storminj]

I am creating users/registering and cannot see the newly registered users in the admin manage user window. I see them in the mass email and veiw system stats.

Is this bug or do I have to have patience and wait for something to click?

I can see them on exporting database as well just not in manage users.

What is weird is I was able to do it earlier. It may have happened after I clicked my admin privledges and they toggled to not admin. I then toggled them back.

You mean that you are an admin and are creating new users?

This is what happened.

My IT put phpscheduleit on a server and added him and myself as admin.
I went in and messed around a bit including making a group of the two admins where I put myself as administer, toggling admin on and off on my own admin, and administering and deleting test users.

Problem: Whenever I veiwed the Manage users list I could only veiw the two admin accounts. No matter what I did including switching browsers seemed to help.

Shotgun solution: We did a quick series of things to fix and since we did not do them systamatically I can not say which one actually worked. I had my IT remove my admin status and give back, he also deleted the admin user group, and this was done while I was logged out and all my browsers closed to avoid any wierd cached memory issues.
 
Results: I am now back to managing all users as admin

Suspected bug: Either a bug with toggling my own admin permissions, making admin user group, or combination of both with the addition of being admin of the group.

Basically I am a admin and could not veiw any users on the 'manage users' screen. This means I could not assign permissions. I could see them on the export, email and even schedule time for them but could not manage them to assign permissions.

Is the admin account also a group admin?  There may be a bug here.

Yes - that is most likely the case.

I was playing around with groups because we might use LDAP for login and need a way to track lab/billing for PI's of researchers.

I too had this happen just today.  I'm a new user as of yesterday, installed on our server and started playing around with the features, setting up resources and have it configured to use our LDAP server.  All was working fine until today I created a Group, then went into the Users list and toggled myself (app admin) in the Admin column to Yes and went back to the Manage Groups and assigned myself as the Admin for the new Group I made.  From then on I can't see any users in the Manage Users page except for myself (I'm the only Admin at this point).

Without documentation I didn't know how Admin in the Manage Users page was defined.  How does it differ from the application Admin defined in the .config file?  I found this very confusing.  After looking at Groups I realized that maybe you could create groups and have Admins assigned to each.  I inferred this since I couldn't find any docs that explained this.  The Readme should be updated to cover Groups and Admin in Users listings.

More info...

I just went in and unselected myself as Admin of the only Group I had made and nothing changed... still couldn't see the other users. But after I then deleted the Group, then I could view the other users in the Manage Users page.

Hope this helps!
