# 3357 Trying to Drop an Administrator that Has Granted Roles/Privileges Can Cause Dependency Error

As part of the setup for a new app I add a new master user with name and password randomly generated, When I hit the line:

Execute('DROP USER "Administrator"');

I get:

The following error occurred with the execution of the SQL for the last operation:

ElevateDB Error #201 The user Administrator in the configuration EDBConfig cannot be dropped because it is still referenced by the user HYGFMNK in the configuration EDBConfig


Comments Comments and Workarounds
The issue was caused by a dependency between the Administrator user and any roles/privileges that were granted using that user. EDB now resets the grantor for the granted roles/privileges to the special System user, and allows the DROP to proceed.
