STS: Users from Parent Web Do Not Appear in User List of Subwebs (280397)
The information in this article applies to:
- SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft
This article was previously published under Q280397 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to assign a task to someone in a SharePoint team Web site, you cannot do so.
The name does not appear in the Assigned To list of the new task.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you create a subweb under a SharePoint team Web site.
Users from a parent Web do not appear in the user list of a subweb until they have added or edited something in that subweb.
WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, have the user add an item to the subweb.
MORE INFORMATION
When you create a subweb from within SharePoint Site Administration, and then select Use same permissions as parent Web on the Create a Subweb page, the user list from the parent Web does not appear in the subweb.
Only the creator of the subweb appears in the Assign To list of a task that you create or edit in the new subweb.
Users of the parent Web appear in the Assign To list in the subweb after they add or edit any item in the subweb. For example, after a user creates and then saves a new task in the subweb, his or her user name appears in the Assigned To list in the Task pages.
