I'm not being able to delete users with the DeleteUser method; this allways return false if I'm not logged in as admin. Why this happens?

IMHO this is right, only admins shall be allowed to delete users (and users themselves). Note, that this area will change extensively in DNN 3.3/4.1

I'd look into what happens when the user clicks the Unregister link on the user profile. I'm pretty sure this deletes their account. I honestly don't think you have to be an admin to delete users, but I could be wrong - I haven't tried it. I can understand the assumption, but don't agree with it. Anyway, you might also want to dig thru the code to see what that method is doing.

I have a provisional solution. It is not very elegant but is functional while the version 4.1/3.3 is released. I have created a trigger in the dotnetnuke table "aspnet_Users" that deletes the users from the "Users" table. The delete is in cascade and all information remains consistently (I think). When you need to delet a user you only have to call to the method System.Web.Security.Membership.DeleteUser(username).

The trigger that i have used:
CREATE
TRIGGER [DeleteUsers]
ON [dbo].[aspnet_Users]
AFTER
DELETE
AS

DELETE FROM Users WHERE Username IN (SELECT Username FROM deleted)

Caution: This solution will delete the users from all portals...

Àlex.
