Issue with a!pickerFieldUsersAndGroups while selecting users.

Question

My use case is to pickup users from only particular group using a!pickerFieldUsersAndGroups, i have encountered some weir ed issue. Below is the use case. 
 I have four users in a group.Lets say User A, User B, User C, User D who are part of group XYZ. 
 
 When i try to search i have problem with only two users lets say User A and User B, they can be searchable by admin users and them selves but not by other users.I tried all the possible ways in debugging by creating new group etc . Added the same user to other group and configured that group still the user is not visible in search. Its the issue with only those two users in the group. 
 
 please let me know if any one has encountered this issue or any suggestions? 
 
 i have configured a!pickerFieldUsersAndGroups as below. 
 load( local!assignedTo, {a!pickerFieldUsersAndGroups( label: "Test Groups and user selection", maxSelections: 1, groupFilter:togroup(XYZ), value: local!assignedTo, saveInto: local!assignedTo ), a!buttonLayout( primaryButtons:{ a!buttonWidgetSubmit( label:"submit" ) } )})

Hi Kartthik, 
 
I have worked on same use case before and it works fine for me. In this case could you please check the hierarchy of the Group as well (Parent Group, Child group). As per my knowledge if you are part of that group or you have Admin access then it can be can be searchable.

HI karthikk640 ,

Seems like you have a problem with user profile security. Since you have checked all group level security then I think best case is user level security is what giving you problems. I believe when you log in as admin user you can see the users in the user picker.

Can you check in your Appian instance admin console System->Permission->Default User Profile Visibility. If this check box is not selected, your basic users will not be able to see any other user in the system. Only admins users will be able to see all users in the system. But we can implement a solution for this to set security as we desire using modify user security smart service.
