How to prevent users from being searched
Hi,
Please give me a suggestion about following thing.
When adding subscriber to a work item, clicking "Add", then "Select Users" dialog shows up.
Then, if entering "*", all users show up in the dialog.
In the users, built-in users such as ccm_user, jts_user, ADMIN show up along with other users.
Is there a way to prevent those users from showing up "Select Users" dialog?
I'm thinking archiving those users may be one way.
Is it ok?
Meanwhile I think archiving those users may cause a problem as those users are not normal users.

These built-in users are actively used by the underlying components, so
you definitely do not want to archive them.

As far as I have tested, if those built-in users are archived, some
functions don't work properly.
Is it right?

Hi Geoff
Thank you for your answer :)
The reason why I'm asking this question is that I want to prevent that those users show up in "Select Users" dialog of adding subscriber to a work item.
Could you give me any suggestion about it?
That is a very reasonable thing to want to do, but as far as I know, not
something you can currently do. I've submitted work item 175975 ("Do
not show administrative users in the user selection lists.") for this.
