A friend added two users on my Proxmox installation, so both of us could log in with their own credentials.
However he does not use his account any more so I deleted his account in the shell via "userdel". I did not know that the user management was possible via the web GUI!

So the user deletion kind of worked, but the deleted user account still appears under Datacenter -> Permissions -> Groups. How can I get rid of it?
Further, I now wanted to create another account for some other colleague. So I went to Permissions -> Users and added an user, but interestingly, I always get the error "connection refused" when I create a new user. However when I refresh the page, I see the user gets created somehow.
Whats that problem?
