 Hello,

 I am running version 5.0.3 and would like to know if their is a way to
 create custom fields for the User Accounts? I can see in the UI that it is
 possible for Accounts/Vendors/Contacts but NOT for Users. I feel that this
 a big usability mistake and should be allowed. I have seen someone has
 posted a UserCustomFields addition for the 4.2.x branch but it isn't
 relevant to the 5.0.x branch. Any ideas or suggestions please.

 Right now if you try to do a "Find" in the upper right corner UI you can't
 search for Users. Is there a reason why or a way to allow Users to be
 searched as well?

Comment:

 Capability to add custom fields to Users module has been added in vtiger
 CRM 5.3.0, but only through apis and the internal system is prepared to
 accept it.

 UI for the same has not been provisioned yet. This is expected to be
 available post 5.4.0 release.

 Global search for Users module doesn't make sense as only administrators
 should be able to search through Users list. But yes, Search on Users list
 has become critical and should be part of Users List View Search.
