The record type [identifier=SYSTEM_RECORD_TYPE_USER] cannot be queried

Works for me. Which version are you on?

a!queryRecordType(
  recordType: 'recordType!{SYSTEM_RECORD_TYPE_USER}User',
  fields: 'recordType!{SYSTEM_RECORD_TYPE_USER}User.fields.{SYSTEM_RECORD_TYPE_USER_FIELD_firstName}firstName',
  filters: {
    a!queryFilter(
      field: 'recordType!{SYSTEM_RECORD_TYPE_USER}User.fields.{SYSTEM_RECORD_TYPE_USER_FIELD_active}active',
      operator: "=",
      value: true
    )
  },
  pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(1, 5000)
).data

Thanks for the reply. I am using version 23.2.

Perhaps you need to upgrade the Record Type if you haven't done it before?

Ref: docs.appian.com/.../Configure_Tempo_Users.html

Thank You! It works perfectly on my personal laptop, where I use version 23.3. But in my organization-provided work environment the 'UPDATE NOW' is disabled, so I can't update it. 

Is it related to profile level security configuration in version 23.2?

I would assume it requires admin privileges.
