Hi,
On my Discourse installation, there is a large gap between the number of users in the various trust\_level groups in the Groups section and the Users Per Trust Level numbers in the new dashboard. I’m wondering if this is a general bug?

Hi @outofthebox,
Thanks for reaching us about this. I agree it’s kind of ambiguous as the numbers we are showing on the Dashboard are what we call “real users” and is the count of users with this exact “trust\_level” on the “users” table.
On the other hand, the groups pages is showing your presence in a group. And basically this is cumulative. Everyone but two users should be in trust\_level\_0 group even if you are trust\_level=4 in “users” table.
Some code to show this:
```plaintext
[22] pry(main)> User.all.count
(15.9ms) SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "users"
=> 35956
[23] pry(main)> User.where(trust_level: 0).count
(17.8ms) SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "users" WHERE "users"."trust_level" = 0
=> 21028
[24] pry(main)> User.where(trust_level: 1).count
(18.2ms) SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "users" WHERE "users"."trust_level" = 1
=> 13180
[25] pry(main)> User.where(trust_level: 2).count
(17.1ms) SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "users" WHERE "users"."trust_level" = 2
=> 1685
[26] pry(main)> User.where(trust_level: 3).count
(16.0ms) SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "users" WHERE "users"."trust_level" = 3
=> 37
[27] pry(main)> User.where(trust_level: 4).count
(16.1ms) SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "users" WHERE "users"."trust_level" = 4
=> 26
[29] pry(main)> 21028+13180+1685+37+26
=> 35956
# 10 is group_id for trust_level_0 group
[30] pry(main)> GroupUser.where(group_id: 10).count
(22.4ms) SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "group_users" WHERE "group_users"."group_id" = 10
=> 35954
```

That makes complete sense! Thanks for the insightful clarification!
