[I] Users pickers in role and group modals cannot find users beyond the first page (7.0.0rc2) [superset]
sfirke opened a new issue, #45592:
URL: https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/45592
### Bug description
(I found this issue by hand, then wrote it up with Claude AI. I edited and am posting this by hand having read it all)
The "Users" picker in the Edit Role and Edit Group modals, and the Users filter on the Roles, Groups and Action Log list pages, fail to bring back more than the first page of results, regardless of what you type. Every search returns the same first page of users in username order, so any user outside that page cannot be found or selected.
This makes these input fields unusable on large deployments.
The picker's `fetchUserOptions` (`superset-frontend/src/features/groups/utils.ts`) sends the search term as a rison `filter` key to `/api/v1/security/users/`. That is a Flask-AppBuilder list endpoint, which only understands a `filters` array of `{col, opr, value}` entries, so the `filter` key is silently ignored and the request is unfiltered. The `filter` key is the convention for `/related/` endpoints, which is probably where the mismatch came from.
#### How to reproduce
1. Have more than one page (100) of users, so that some usernames sort after the first 100 alphabetically.
2. Open Settings → List Roles, edit a role, and type the name or username of a user from beyond the first page into the Users picker.
3. Repeat in Settings → List Groups, or in the Users filter on the Roles list page.
#### Expected
The picker narrows to users matching the typed text, and the user can be selected.
#### Actual
The list does not change. The same first page of users shows regardless of input, and the user cannot be found. Scrolling can page through, but typing never helps.
#### Suggested fix
Send the term as a `filters` entry that the users API understands. The users API has no free-text search operator, so one needs to be registered on `SupersetUserApi` that matches username, first name, last name, full name and email, then the picker should display the email beneath the name so an email match is visible.
### Screenshots/recordings
_No response_
### Superset version
master / latest-dev
### Python version
Not applicable
### Node version
Not applicable
### Browser
Not applicable
### Additional context
Affects any deployment with more users than one picker page. Smaller deployments never hit it because every user fits on the first page and AsyncSelect filters that page client-side.
Seems like this has existed since #33298, merged in May 2025. First released in 6.0.0. Are people not using Roles and Groups on large instances? I guess Groups aren't really functional yet. But this makes me question what I'm seeing when testing 7.0.0rc2, I can't add people to a group if they're not in the first page of results ..
### Checklist
- [ ] I have searched Superset docs and Slack and didn't find a solution to my problem.
- [x] I have searched the GitHub issue tracker and didn't find a similar bug report.
- [x] I have checked Superset's logs for errors and if I found a relevant Python stacktrace, I included it here as text in the "additional context" section.

Would love if someone could sanity check me on this! I have an AI-generated fix in.
