 * Hi,
 * I’m a developper for Hoffman agency in Montreal. We have a big customer who using
   wordpress for his intranet website. They are using your PP Plugin for permissions
   of users.
    We have a soft issue with that. When we delete a user from wp-admin
   panel, the user still present in the database. So we have to connect to phpMyAdmin
   to delete it manually. Because if we want to recreate a user with a email and
   a user with this email still in database we can’t recreate the user.
 * Our customer ask us sometime to delete some users from the database, and we lose
   time to do it. So why the user deleted from wp-admin won’t be delete from database?
 * Regards,
 * Franck Jorge

 * Franck,
 * Can you explain your client’s configuration for user editing capabilities? Press
   Permit Core does not provide any customization of that particular permissions
   issue. In fact, the PP Core code does not even reference the delete_user, delete_users
   or edit_users capabilities. edit_user is referenced only in a context which does
   not apply to this situation. If Press Permit Core does have any involvement in
   this error, it must be due to a conflict with some other third party code which
   is restricting user deletion based on some other criteria.
 * When the deletion error happens, does the user appear to be deleted (from the
   Users listing)? Which database tables do you need to manually delete records 
   from:
 * wp_users?
    wp_usermeta? a custom table?
