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.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

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.
