Search for Users not working

Need help Database

Months later but… just wanted to say that your reply just saved me after hours of investigating.

What was happening for anyone else who stumbles on this later:

  1. I was trying to do increment a number field on the user object for each new user who signed up (like to show on a user profile page, so users can see what number they were when they signed up)
  2. I was doing it in the default signup workflow but it wasn’t working. Specifically I was using Search for Users:count + 1
  3. Good: Search for Users:count worked properly when displayed on a page
  4. Bad: Search for Users:count didn’t work when called in a workflow

Solution: turned out my privacy rules were working in point 3 because all users are logged-in our site, and we let logged-in users see all data!

Thanks!
