Querying a User within a Public sites page?

I have a public site page form that creates a case and assigns it to the owner that is query within Apex. Since, its is a public site it doesn't query anything from the user object.

Using "Site.getAdminId()" doesn't work in my case, since I am the site administrator that is not what I want.

Do you have user sharing turned on?  That would stop your site user seeing the other users unless your extension controller was declared without sharing.

You should be able to access this information through a custom controller - I've just created a page on my site that lists all users in the system and that works fine.

Have you executed the query to ensure that there is a user named 'Salesforce Administrators' ?

It executed ok when the VF page is native in SF, once I assigned it as a Sites page, it won't execute.

Originally that query was within the PageReference save method, so I move it to the constructor and now get the standard site  "Authorization Required" page.
Comment out that user query line, and the page load fine. So, some reason that User Object is not open in Sites.
private Id ownerId;

public SampleOrderController(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
        ownerId = [Select Id From User Where Name = 'Salesforce Administrators' Limit 1].Id;
}

So that was it, all I had to do is share the admin user to the site guess user.
