Users are hidden when imported using Import tool

[hseoane]

Hi,

Whenever I import users into the Alfresco repository by using the Import tool (using the org.alfresco.tools.Import class), I can see the users by checking the node browser. However, searching for all users in the web console doesn't return other users than guest and admin.

But to make things weirder, if I try to login as one of those users that were created through the import process, I can do that successfully, and if I try to search for all users again, that user shows up within the results.

Is this some kind of feature such as "a user created with the import tool won't be activated until he/she logs into the console"? Otherwise, I guess I should report it as a bug.

I'm currently using Alfresco Enterprise 3.0.0 beta 2.

Thanks!
Hernan

AFAIK it's always been working that way.

The importer creates "users" (in the user store), and what you see in the web client are "persons" (in the spaces store).  There's one "person" for each "user" but it is lazily created during the first sign-in of the given user, as you said.
