When I try to delete users in bulk user actions (the number of users doesn't seem to matter) I get the following error message:

Here's user/lib.php for Moodle 4.0.4

https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/v4.0.4/user/lib.php

As you can see, there is no CFG or reference to including any file on line 3. It's just license boilerplate. So, what does your user/lib.php file look like in the first few lines?

Try enabling debugging. Hopefully this will include more detailed error output.

Leon is correct: its admin/user/lib.php

I had debugging set to "ALL". With debugging set to "DEVELOPER" the error message is the same

Can you give us precise steps that cause the error on your site?

And can you tell us what the first few lines of config.php say? It should be something like:

<?php  // Moodle configuration file

unset($CFG);
global $CFG;
$CFG = new stdClass();

Here are the first 10 lines of my config.php <?php // Moodle configuration file

unset($CFG);
global $CFG;
$CFG = new stdClass();

$CFG->dbtype = 'mariadb';
$CFG->dblibrary = 'native';
$CFG->dbhost = 'localhost';
$CFG->dbname = 'moodle';
