Comment (by dhenriet):

 Hello, thank you for your feedback.

 You're right, I think it's not a bug but just a role rights problem.
 I have therefore carried out other tests:
 - disable all plugins
 - change the theme to twentytwentyfive

 The result is the same and I've only got 7 users listed, but I've just
 realized that they're all those who have an administrator role.
 This is a site I've recovered, I didn't do the development, I need to
 understand the logic and code.
 On the front end, there's a form, which, when submitted, creates an entry
 in a “recruiter” post type and a user with a recruiter role. The author of
 the entry in the post type created must be the user created when the form
 was submitted.
 This works with the form, but manually, as I explained, selecting the
 “quick edit” list displays all users, whereas normal editing only displays
 users with an administrator role. (I'm logged in as administrator).

 It doesn't matter as long as editing from “quick edit” is possible, I'm
 not going to spend any more time on this, I think it's a role rights
 problem.

 Thanks again and sorry for the time you've wasted.
