Can't list users in Vikunja with Cloudron access control

[ikalou]

Hi,

I've just installed Vikunja and noticed that I can't find any other user in the app (when creating a new team), if I install Vikunja and let cloudron manage users.
If I reinstall it and tick "Leave user management to the app", then it works and I can see the other users who created an account in vikunja.
Is that normal?

I thought it would be possible to use the cloudron access control and be able to work on projects with other cloudron users who are granted access to vikunja.

Thanks

Hello @ikalou
That should be possible.
It can be that the cloudron users in vikunja only get created when they login for the first time.
Thus the list of users can look empty at first.
This is what I assume. I will have to take a look tomorrow

Hi @james thanks for your reply, I tried creating a dummy user before/after installing vikunja, but I can't see any user when I log in (same from my normal account).
Thanks for having a look at it!

Haven't tried it yet myself but I just saw https://vikunja.io/docs/openid/#users-must-log-in-before-they-can-be-assigned-to-tasks

Hi @james and @nebulon, I tried again and confirm that it is not possible to find any user within Vikunja when installing the app with cloudron access control.
Steps to reproduce I just did:

• install vikunja
• log in using cloudron
• in another browser container or browser, log into cloudron as another user
• log into vikunja using cloudron as well
• create a team and try adding the other user: the list remains empty

Thanks

I did a test run now and after the second user has logged in, I am able to add that user to a team. However the UI is a bit strange to say the least, one has to start typing the username in the input field to add it, only then users which match get listed.

Yes, it works if the app is installed independently from cloudron user SSO.

In my case it works in both with and without Coudron user management.

Hi, I gave it another try, it is very weird on my side:

• I can add the other user from one account but not the other way around (with another team of course)
• Sometimes I can't find the user by entering its name, or I have to enter it completely, or even have to enter the username instead of the display name to find it
• I tried with 3 accounts in total, I manage to find the 2 other accounts only with one of those test accounts, for the others I can only find 1
• Also, when I find the user to add, clicking on it doesn't work, I have to press Enter

yes that might be worth asking upstream at the app to maybe improve this UI for better usability and predictability.
