Re-enabling disabled users with OCC command works

[nickvergessen]

Works fine here with a full admin.

Can you try a hard refresh too?

[ajeoc]

How to "hard refresh"? Thanks

[nickvergessen]

Ctrl + F5

But when it is still the case after reopening the browser then it might be a different story.

[ajeoc]

Doesn't help.
You remember this one owncloud/core#20303 (comment) ?
Could it be related???
The disabled Users are called test, testuser, testuser2
In the Database, in which Table should Disabled be? Can't find it when doing: select * from oc_groups

[nickvergessen]

Well it uses a fake group and then loops over all users and filters them manually:

server/settings/Controller/UsersController.php

Lines 305 to 318 in 5a257ce

	if ($gid !== '' && $gid !== '_disabledUsers') {
	$batch = $this->getUsersForUID($this->groupManager->displayNamesInGroup($gid, $pattern, $limit, $offset));
	} else {
	$batch = $this->userManager->search($pattern, $limit, $offset);
	}
	foreach ($batch as $user) {
	if (($gid !== '_disabledUsers' && $user->isEnabled()) ||
	($gid === '_disabledUsers' && !$user->isEnabled())
	) {
	$userObjects[] = $user;
	$users[] = $this->formatUserForIndex($user);
	}
	}

Is there any updates on this issue?

[ajeoc]

From my side no. I still experience this issue on my productive platform.

[hubertbanas]

Yeah, I experience this bug here as well.

[supremesyntax]

Also here with NC 12.0.3 (Updated from 11.0.5)

User interface indicates one user is disabled although i don't remember disabling one.
When i click on Disabled (pseudo user group) the list is empty.

I also created one fresh user and disabled this user. The list 'Disabled' stays empty.

Found out another strange thing, don't know if it is intended to be like this: when a user is disabled i am still able to share with him.

[MattyShires]

Same issue on 12.0.4, using an LDAP back-end for users, all users and groups are correctly detected but will not show up in the disabled users list if they are disabled, running the "occ user:enable {username}" will make them visible again.

[michag86]

I think this #7292 can fix the problem. I've tested this on 12.0.4 successfully. Not shure if this also works with ldap back end.

[MorrisJobke]

Fixed by #7292 in 13 and will be fixed in 12.0.6 with #8006
