Search for Users not working

Need help Database
#1

I’m trying to Search for Users, but I can’t get Bubble to return any data. I can’t even get output on the number of Users in the database. This returns 0, even though I have Users.

I can search for other types of data, but not Users. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Any ideas?

Might be a dumb suggestion, but have you made sure you don’t have privacy rules blocking the search?

It happened to me a few times! :yum:

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!

Saved mine as well! I was starting to go crazy, until I started searching the forum and immediately found this solution. Would be great if in debug mode there would be a bigger flag on privacy rules…The warning appears but only once I adjusted the privacy settings but not showing all fields…

Anyhow, thanks!!!
