Problem

When removing a user from a group in the internal directory that does not exist in any other user directory, the following error message is shown to the user: No user named "<username>" was found

The same error is returned when deleting the user through the REST API.

With debug logging enabled, a line similar to the following appears in the atlassian-bitbucket.log:

"DELETE /rest/api/1.0/admin/users HTTP/1.1" c.a.s.i.r.e.ServiceExceptionMapper Mapping ServiceException to REST response 404


com.atlassian.bitbucket.user.NoSuchUserException: No user named '<username>' was found

Cause

The search for the user should continue until it is found in one of the user directories, but in this case it returns this error before it attempts to search the internal directory.

Resolution

Move the internal Bitbucket directory above all other user directories, to ensure it checks for the user in this directory first, then delete the user from the group.
