Whoops! sorry about that. I've fixed this bug in trunk. If you need to delete users and don't want to upgrade to trunk, you can repair this issue from Futon. visit: http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/document.html?_users/_design/_auth edit the validate_doc_update string so that the "if" block starting with: "if (newDoc._deleted === true) {" comes at the top of the function, above the doc.type checking section save the design document, and now you should be able to delete users (as an admin).
