Research direction
Investigate the admin UI codebase, focusing on the users list component and its interaction with LDAP. Check recent commits around version 26.5.4 that might have introduced the popup requiring '*' to load all users. Review the existing comments for any proposed direction from maintainers. The fix may involve reverting a UI change or adding an option to disable the popup.
