Users with "Hide from users list" and "Disable account" still visible in Recipients (but not in Reviewers/Approvers)

    Hello everyone,
    I encountered an issue with user visibility in SeedDMS.

    In the global users list there are several accounts marked with:

    Hide from users list

    Disable account

    When creating a document:

    In Reviewers and Approvers fields these users are correctly hidden (they do not appear in the selection lists).

    But in Recipients they still appear regardless of these flags.

    It looks inconsistent: logically, users marked as hidden/disabled should also not appear in the Recipients dropdown.

    Question:
    Is this expected behavior in SeedDMS, or is it a bug?
    If this is by design, is there a configuration option or patch to exclude hidden/disabled users from the Recipients list as well?

    Version of SeedDMS: 6.0.35
    Any help or clarification would be appreciated.

    This is a bug and it will be fixed in 6.0.36. Thanks for reporting.

    Thank you for the clarification.

    I have now upgraded SeedDMS to version 6.0.37, however the issue still persists.

    Users marked as “Hide from users list” and/or “Disable account” are still shown in the Recipients dropdown when creating a document.

    Reviewers and Approvers lists behave correctly (hidden/disabled users do not appear), but Recipients does not seem to apply the same filtering.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Sorry, I missed those. The next version will have it.
