Message Text
User &1 could not be deleted
Help Document
Diagnosis
The user Current record id70000 could not be deleted because it is still linked to organization management objects which could not be deleted. The user is not deleted in this case, to ensure the consistency of the data.
The most likely reason for this is a lock on an object linked to the user, perhaps because it is being used. You could try to delete the links in organization management before you delete the user.
Users can be linked to positions, tasks, task groups, workflow patterns and workflow tasks, etc. in organization management. Transaction PPST displays the objects linked to the user.
System Response
The user is not deleted.
Procedure
Delete the links in organization management. It may be enough to delete again later if a lock caused the error.
