Summary20254: List of users is empty on survey permissions page
Description

We have a lot of "normal", non-admin users. These users want to allow other users to edit their surveys. This is possible on the "survey permissions" page. We granted all users the right to see other users (but not create, modify or delete).

In practice users can not see other users on the survey persmissions page, unless they have full admin rights for the whole Limesurvey system. This seems to be a technical bug.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce

Create a new survey. Go to "survey persmissions" and try to add a user.

Expected result

Have a user list in the drop-down menu and be able to add these users.

Actual result

Drop down is empty. Adding other users is not possible.

This can be resolved by setting "Group member can only see own group" to "No" in Global settings, or setting "usercontrolSameGroupPolicy" to false in config.php.
