**What are contact persons?**
Contact persons are users who appear as the addressed recipient in project documents. They represent the client or stakeholder who will receive and review the document.

**How contact persons are determined:**
- For external projects (projects linked to an organization): Returns all members of the linked organization
- For internal projects: Returns all employees in the workspace

**What is returned:**
A list of users with their ID, full name, position/title, and avatar. This list is used when creating or updating documents to select who should be listed as the contact person in the document header and recipient fields.

**Use cases:**
- Populate dropdown/select fields when creating documents
- Display available contacts when editing document properties
- Ensure only valid contacts are assigned to documents
