Yes, your users are in the main wiki. In DBListClass you cannot query the global wiki. You will need to write a customer displayer script and declare it in your class An example of customer displayer is here: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Multiselect+custom+dis… Your custom displayer will need to query the main wiki using a specific search API (in the XWiki object) which allows to set the wiki to query.

Hi Mathieu, In a workspace, the membership relationship is stored in the workspace's XWiki.XWikiAllGroup. In other words, all global users that are members of the someWorkspace:XWiki.XWikiAllGroup are considered to be members of the "someWorkspace" workspaces itself. To get a list of all the members of workspace "someWorkspace", you can just query the members of the "someWorkspace:XWiki.XWikiAllGroup" group. However, this only gives you references to the main wiki users (global users). If you want to inspect each of these users individually (first name, last name, avatar, etc.), you will need to query this information on the main wiki, since that is where the global users are stored. So to recap: - User information/storage: in the main wiki, in the user's profile page - Workspace membership information: in the workspace, XWiki.XWikiAllGroup The UserDirectory of a workspace does some extra funky stuff to come up with the list of all users that are direct or indirect members of the workspace group (someWorkspace:XWiki.XWikiAllGroup). If you are feeling adventurous, I invite you to have a look at XWiki.UserDirectoryLivetableResultsOverride inside a workspace. This page is used by the Main.UserDirectory inside a workspace to override the way the UserDirectory behaves on a non-workspace wiki (which is to list all the local users -- this is not the case in a workspace).
