** Description changed:

  Computer users tab doesn't show users anymore. For example:
  https://landscape.canonical.com/account/amorphous/computer/55947/users
  
  On a different computer is shows only some users but not the main ones. On 
this computer there should be the user alex(1000) for example:
  https://landscape.canonical.com/account/amorphous/computer/96132/users
  
  However, creating new users works and they do show up:
  https://landscape.canonical.com/account/amorphous/computer/94231/users
+ 
+ 
+ [Impact] 
+ 
+ Computers registered with landscape no longer send their users list to
+ the server, leaving the computer users tab empty. This is a regression.
+ 
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 1. Install landscape-client on a computer (vm, lxc, etc)
+ 2. Register with landscape.canonical.com or an LDS server
+ 3. On the client computer, tail -f /var/log/landscape/broker.log, watch for 
exchanges with the server
+ 4. On the server, select the client computer and go to the "users" tab.
+ 5. With the broken version of landscape-client, the users tab will remain 
empty even after several exchanges. With the fixed version, that tab will 
populate after a few minutes.
+ 
+ 
+ [Regression Potential] 
+ The feature isn't working already, so there is no new regression in that 
area. The patch is very localized, has unit tests and was manually tested as 
well.
+ 
+ It has been observed in a previous non-approved version of the patch
+ that it triggered server resynchronization requests every 5 minutes for
+ the user listing. You could say this is a potential regression², but it
+ was caught by QA and the fix was rejected.
+ 
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+ Free trial accounts can be obtained on https://landscape.canonical.com to 
test this. Alternatively, you can also download LDS and install it yourself as 
it has free license seats included (see https://help.landscape.canonical.com 
for instructions).
+ Sometimes you may get a false test result in the sense that the broken client 
will send the users list to the server, but this has been rare.
