User status (active/inactive) mismatch between users and teams/members API responses

[Petri Aarnio]

Summary

User status (active/inactive) mismatch between users and teams/members API responses

Version: team edition 9.7.1

Steps to reproduce

Deactivate a user who is a member of a team.

Expected behavior

Either:

1. Both users and teams/members API response has the user's status inactive -> delete_at is nonzero
2. teams/members API does not have deactivated user in the response

Observed behavior (that appears unintentional)

Deactivated user status still looks active (delete_at = 0) in teams/members API response, but users API has correctly a number in delete_at property.

Example responses:

users API:
{
"id": "1a8r8zkq7prruyxis7imwbed8e",
"create_at": 1640158315104,
"update_at": 1715940346409,
"delete_at": 1715937655584,
"username": "pzsdaapcgeqtzmsutuuqao",
"auth_data": "",
"auth_service": "",
"email": "[e-mail]",
"nickname": "",
"first_name": "Deleted",
"last_name": "User",
"position": "",
"roles": "system_user",
"locale": "",
"timezone": {},
"disable_welcome_email": false
}

teams/members:
{
"team_id": "oxe7f7wzyfy97jrqqoa5qoi7gy",
"user_id": "1a8r8zkq7prruyxis7imwbed8e",
"roles": "team_user",
"delete_at": 0,
"scheme_guest": false,
"scheme_user": true,
"scheme_admin": false,
"explicit_roles": ""
},
