Removing a user deletes login as well

This only relates to deleting an employee. It would be nice if deleting a user also remove everything that is associated with them so you can free up the login username they use to have.

A custom MySQL works, but requires joining multiple tables lol. I was wondering if this wasn't added because it broke some other feature?

EDIT::

If someone happens to delete the employee from the Contacts record, their name should still show up under Admin->Manage User so that you can control their login (Activate/Deactivate) and see what login names are taken.

In fact user is represented by it's id. Deactivate user and change login name to something else to free it up. We don't remove users, because all content that is assigned to them should be visible and with some user filled in.

Hello,

What Adam posted is correct.

To add to that - Contacts that had user assigned and deleted are actually visible in User Management screen and can be reactivated. If it's necessary to re-use already exiting username, there's no other way but to edit the old username to something else and then create a new one with desired username.
We never delete any users and I'm sure it's pretty clear why we don't allow using the same username for two users at the same time.

Kind regards,
Arek
