Hello!
I installed mybb 1814 and I have trouble renaming groups.
I went to my admin control panel in the site owner acc. 
I went to user and groups tried to rename super mods and I got this error message
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /admin/index.php on this server. error 403.
I don't understand why I'm getting this message as in the site owner acc should be able to do this 
I also tried a custom role to see if the issue was that I was renaming a default role but no I had no difference.

I included a image of the error my site is http://leagueofgamers.co/
Thank you

Hi,

403 error..., you must check your CentOS web server error logs, and you'll find out what it's the problem.

Maybe a rule in .htaccess?

where would I find that?

If you're using a shared host that offers something like cPanel, you can access the error logs from there.

It's possible that the problem is being caused by "mod_security" if that is enabled on your web server. You may be able to disable this using the ".htaccess" file by renaming the "htaccess.txt" to ".htaccess".

thank you but i found the solution in documentation.
You don’t have permission to access admin/index.php on this server.

Information: This is nearly always a problem with mod_security. mod_security is an Apache extension that is used for security. In MyBB 1.4, mod_security treats the way the URLs are set out in the ACP as a security threat, so it will deny you access.

You should contact your host provider and ask them to whitelist your domain or hosting account against mod_security - basically so that it doesn’t affect you anymore.
