Deleting a user on openfoodfacts.org does not delete it on openbeautyfacts.org

[CharlesNepote]

What

• I have deleted the "opendata" user on openfoodfacts.org but it is still listed in the editors of this product:
  • https://world.openbeautyfacts.org/product/42277248/nivea-creme
• Though, opening "opendata" link on this page lead to a 404:
  • https://world.openbeautyfacts.org/editor/opendata

    Part of

• 6436

The issue is the way that deletion works. https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-server/blob/bbee9564c088475cd977d4d5df62f9716ed27e6e/lib/ProductOpener/Users.pm#L195

The instances share their users directory through a symlink or something, but https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-server/blob/15c6cff29263f88a00cb969bd8e789484e5d196e/lib/ProductOpener/Products.pm#L1649 doesn't iterate the configured other_servers https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-server/blob/bbee9564c088475cd977d4d5df62f9716ed27e6e/lib/ProductOpener/Config_off.pm#L838-L872

This issue is stale because it has been open 90 days with no activity.

I think a simple way to fix that could be:

• to have an admin only API point to remove users on other platforms (and add a specific admin user / pwd in config of product opener)
• to have a cronjob that at the end of each day, remove users that have been removed and are still there (it seems not so easy to do, but is more robust)
