Concrete: 9.2.2
PHP: 8.2.1

When trying to delete a user we’re seeing the following error:

Doctrine\DBAL\Exception\ForeignKeyConstraintViolationException thrown with message "An exception occurred while executing 'DELETE FROM Users WHERE uID = ?' with params [6]:

SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1451 Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails (`db`.`AnnouncementUserViews`, CONSTRAINT `FK_B721E7B9FD71026C` FOREIGN KEY (`uID`) REFERENCES `Users` (`uID`))"

Is this a custo addon table or something? It seems like it references a user, but maybe when a user was deleted, that operation wasn’t extended to delete the reference from this custom table?

Thanks for getting back. The table you identified helped me do some more research. Looks like it was a known issue and fixed in a 9.2.4 release.

Hello, I have the same error in Concrete 9.2.7. I can’t delete a User as long as it’s part of a group. If it doesn’t belong to any group, I get no error and the user is deleted.

And after getting back from the error page, I see that my User doesn’t have his group added anymore. But I can’t still not delete him.

Can you post your environment information? Wondering if the GroupSignUps is a table for a custom addon that isn’t hooking into the user delete method in the core to remove user-related associations and is subsequently blocking user deletion for affected users.
