## Troubleshooting
## Troubleshooting
Include any troubleshooting steps that you can foresee. If you know beforehand what issues
one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
important to describe those, too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them here.
This is important to minimize requests for support, and to avoid doc comments with
questions that you know someone might ask.
### Deleting a user results in a PostgreSQL null value error
Each scenario can be a third-level heading, e.g.
`### Getting error message X`
.
If you have none to add when creating a doc, leave this section in place
but commented out to help encourage others to add to it in the future. -->
There is
[
a known issue
](
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/349411
)
that results
in users not being deleted, and the following error generated:
```
plaintext
ERROR: null value in column "user_id" violates not-null constraint
```
The error can be found in the
[
PostgreSQL log
](
../../../administration/logs.md#postgresql-logs
)
and
in the
**Retries**
section of the
[
background jobs view
](
../../admin_area/index.md#background-jobs
)
in the Admin Area.
If the user being deleted used the
[
iterations
](
../../group/iterations/index.md
)
feature, such
as adding an issue to an iteration, you must use
[
the workaround documented in the issue
](
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/349411#workaround
)
to delete the user.
