i am posting this here as i am not sure whether its set to work that way or a bug...

Issue: When we create a new admin from ACP, his permission to access Security Questions is set to "NO" by default. However all other permissions are enabled by default.

I don't feel having an Admin Permission set to NO by default is an error / bug. This way if you add a plugin no one else can use it without your knowledge.

@dragonexpert, but it's not a plugin, it's a default feature. So I think it is a bug if everything else is set to Yes.

yes the plugin access should be set to "No"... but now the Security questions is core and hence has to be enabled by default imho....

The issue is probably that someone forgot to put security questions to install/resources/adminoptions.xml Don't know if it is missing from other place(s) as well.

I can confirm it,
https://github.com/mybb/mybb/blob/featur...ptions.xml
we should insert

				<permission name="questions">0</permission>

after line 25

I admit, I screwed up, I forgot about this when I did this...
