Poking around a bit further it seems like the 'SetAccountType(in i accountType);' method mentioned above can take only values of 0 and 1 (which I would rather regard as boolean, than integer) and changes only the 'AccountType' property of that user. This property seems different from the SystemAccount property.
I have no idea what the AccountType means, but i noticed that it is set to 1 for my local user and to 0 for the domain/winbind users. On the other hand, there is another special boolean property called LocalAccount ....... oh well, who needs docs anyway? So to me it looks like there is no way to correct the wrongly detected SystemAccount property for a user, but to Uncache and then Cache this user. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu.

This was not required in 12.04 LTS. In 12.04 LTS users were only hidden if they had UID < UID_MIN. In 13.10 this was changed to UID < UID_MIN or UID > UID_MAX. [Test Case] 1. Create a user with a UID > UID_MAX: $ adduser --uid 60001 big-uid 2. Restart system Expected result: "big-uid" is shown in the greeter. Once logged in "big-uid" is shown in system settings. Observed result: "big-uid" is not shown in the greeter (14.04 LTS, 14.10) "big-uid" is not shown in system settings (13.10, 14.04LTS, 14.10) [Regression Potential] This could cause users that were previously hidden to be shown. This seems unlikely to be a problem as all system created user accounts are less than UID_MIN and there doesn't seem be a convention to use accounts > UID_MAX for this case.
