Description
Some authors -either old or newly created authors- are missing from the list of authors in both the edit page and Quick edit.
After investigating this issue I found that users with wp_user_level set to 0 in wp_usermeta table don't appear in the list, after changing it from 0 to 2 they appeared on the list normally.

Hello jesin,
I know that user level 0 is a subscriber, but it is assigned to a user who has a rule of author not a subscriber. no apparent reason why he gets user level of 0 tho he's an author. happened also with contributors.
Replying to jesin:
Hi sadekhm,
User Level 0 is a subscriber and subscribers are not allowed to create/edit posts.
