Author Need to enable access to delete sysuser

I am trying to delete a user in sysuser and am getting a message that says
ad hoc updates to systems catalog are not enabled, how do you enable the
ability to update?

Why are you deleting directly from the system tables? If you want to drop a
user from a database, use sp_revokedbaccess. See SQL Server Books Online for
more information.

If you are talking about orphan users, then use sp_change_users_logi
n. See
http://vyaskn.tripod.com/ troublesh.../> an_users.htm for more
information.
