Question

According the the meteor documentation, all users should be published to all clients if the autopublish package is installed.

http://docs.meteor.com/#meteor_users

I have the autopublish package installed, but using forEach on Meteor.users only lists the currently logged in user.

Is there a more correct way to list all the users on the client by using coffeescript?

if you auto publish users collection without use subscribe

if Meteor.isServer

    Meteor.publish null, ->
        Meteor.users.find {},
            fields:
                username: 1
                profile: 1

if you want to subscribe specify users you can

if Meteor.isServer

    Meteor.publish 'users-by-selector', (options) ->
        Meteor.users.find options, # options as selector like $in: name: 'john'
            fields: # use fields to only publish specify fields you want to send. 
                username: 1
                profile: 1

if Meteor.isClient

    Meteor.autosubscribe ->
        options = Session.get 'your mongodb selector'
        Meteor.subscribe 'users-by-selector', options, ->
            console.log 'on Subscribe Complete Callback.'
            if Meteor.users.find().count()
                Session.set 'specifyUsersLoaded', true
