Title: Adding User causes error "can't be created..."
Post by: jon on August 26, 2016, 02:24:17 AM

At one point, I had many users on my personal SME server.  However, after the spam got overwhelming, I decided to delete them all and now just have the "Admin" user.  (Screenshot 1)  When I tried to add an old user, I got a message that the user "can't be created because there is already a system account of that name."  (Screenshot 2)

I was going to submit a bug report, but who knows what version of SME caused this slight glitch.  I expect that I probably added the user in version 4.x  and deleted the user in version 6.x or 7.x   

I know that I'm might have to play with the DB - can someone point me to the correct commands to delete this ghost user so I can add it again?

Thanx.
