Hi all,

I'm using dnn community ed. ver 5.x.I'm trying to delete an user account from C# code with:

DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo objUserInfo = DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetUser(0, userid, false);

UserController.DeleteUser(ref objUserInfo, false, false)

 

where userid is known. It deletes from the tables aspnet_*, but not from the "Users" table.. what should I call to completely remove the user?

 

Thanks,

Lucian

What you are finding is actually the same result that would be obtained when "deleting" a user using the Admin-->User Accounts interface. DNN 5.x "soft" deletes a user by removing its entry from the aspnet_Membership table (but as I recall leaving the entry in the aspnet_Users table), deleting its roles and permissions, AND setting the IsDeleted column of its entry in the UserPortals table to true. The user's entry in the Users table is NOT deleted.

Soft deletion of users has both advantages and disadvantages, proponents and opponents.

As far as I know, there is no administrative or host interface nor API nor database stored proceedure in the most recent framework version (5.02.01) to completely remove the user. It is my understanding that this will be provided in a future version. Until then, you're on your own if you wish to completely remove the user.

This doesn't seem to be correct - the user remains in aspnet_Membership and resetting the flag in the UserPortals table brings the user back to life. JC

John Cant Thanks for your post. It allowed me to reinstate a user that was inadvertently deleted. Further to this, the UserRoles records for the user are hard deleted. So if you reset the UserPortals IsDeleted Flag, you then have to reassign the roles to the user. The IsDeleted flag in the Users table is left at False when a user is (soft) deleted, which seems to be a bit hokey. All the best Dave
