Maybe you can help me with a related issue. Recently had the task of pulling all users who have a particular role. There is a fetch user by role function. But it turns out that this only returns the users and groups that have the role explicitly assigned to them. It does not pick up users that inherit the role. And I can't use the subtree fetch you're talking about here because the attribute filter doesn't support querying user roles.

I ended up doing the next easiest thing which is to detect a user group with the role and do another fetch to get users under that group.

Here's a modified version of my code:

$judgeRole = eZRole::fetch( $roleId );
$judgeGroups = array();
$judges = $judgeRole->fetchUserByRole();

foreach($judges as $judge) {
    $classID = $judge['user_object']->ClassIdentifier;
    $content_object = $judge['user_object'];
      if($classID == 'user_group') {
        if( $content_object->Name == 'Awards Judges') {
              $children = eZFunctionHandler::execute('content', 'list',  array('parent_node_id' => $content_object->mainNodeID()
                                                                               , 'class_filter_type' => 'include'
                                                                               , 'class_filter_array' => array( 'user' )
                                                                               , 'depth' => 2));
              foreach($children as $child) {
                  $data_map = $child->dataMap();
                  $judge = $data_map['user_account']->content();
                  array_push($judges, $judge);
              }
          } else {
              $judgeGroups[$content_object->attribute('id') . ''] = $content_object->Name;
          }
      } else {
        array_push($judges, eZUser::fetch($content_object->attribute('id')));
      }
  }

Sometimes we need to disable limitations (e.g. when running the cronscript)

so code should be like this

$params = array( 'Depth' => $depth,
                 'ClassFilterType' => 'include',
                 'ClassFilterArray' => $includeClasses,
                 'Limitation' => array() );
