Separate ability to reference blocked users from 'administer users' permission.

Created on 27 June 2016, over 8 years ago

Problem/Motivation

Only users with administer users permission can reference blocked users in components that make use of entity reference selection plugins (with "default" group), such as entity reference field.

Proposed resolution

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

Original report by erlendoos

As a user without "administer users" permission I am only able to reference enabled users.

I have a use case where I reference users to content, but most of this users make sense for the content while it is unwanted for them to be able to login. I use the user entity to store properties and maybe in the future this entity might get a password.

How about to make this an option similar to "include the anonymous users" and remove the "administer users" requirement. New option name suggestion "Include disabled users".

I tested this again, but there is no error anymore. Should we close it as outdated?

The "This entity (user: id) cannot be referenced." error described in #13 ✨ Separate ability to reference blocked users from 'administer users' permission. Closed: duplicate is no longer reproducible in Drupal 11(11.0-dev). However, the original issue ('Users without 'administer users' permission not able to reference blocked users in entity autocomplete form') is still reproducible. That issue is being discussed in [# 2849620], so I am closing this issue as a duplicate.
