Hi,
I have three admins:
1) "super admin" - the admin that the system was created with. Only used for AdminCP functions and (very) special tests.
2) ME - a secondary admin. Used for everything in the forum except the AdminCP (but can be), for security and in case something goes wrong with admin no. 1
3) testadmin - I created it for someone that needed access to the AdminCP to help me with a template.
- All admins are part of the Administrators group (and only this group). No. 1's and no. 2's permissions where saved so there picture (in "Admin Permissions") is for a user and not as part of the group. No. 3 is, also, a group member and his picture (again, in "Admin Permissions") shows that.
- Both admin no.1 and no 2. are set in the inc/config.php file as "super admins".

I just found that no.2 and no 3, both, get a yellow message "Access Denied, You do not have permission to access this part of the administration control panel.". I checked both and in both cases they have "Yes" to all permissions (not, even one(1) "No").

I do have, about, 50 plugins, but non of them deals with admins and AdminCP permissions.


Can someone direct me what to do?

Admin CP > Tools & Maintenance

Is there any Chmod errors?

No. There are no problems there.

You just have to set them ACP permissions, I believe it's found at ACP > Users & Groups > Admin Permissions.

MattR,
I said in the original post - all the permissions are the same for all admins, especially fo the first "super admin" (no. 1) and my user (no. 2). User no. 3 was created yesterday by me using the "Create New User" in the AdminCP -> "Users & Groups" and was immediately put inside the Administrators group.

Well, if you're seeing a yellow bar, with that message, it's caused ACP permissions, as that's how an admin permissions error is shown. Check these screenshots

Are you saying that everything here is ticked but you still see the message??

I attached two(2) pics I took on my own user (admin no. 2) - first one has the top of the AdminCP page and the second shows the full permissions.

btw, I don't know what is the last permision is (the one that does not have a description/name). I disabled every plugin I can think of and it would not disappear.


p/s: If anyone (who knows my admin username/password) wants to enter my forum's AdminCP - let me know as I have Nickman's "Admin+" plugin which blocks all IPs except my.

Guys,
Please some help here...

If they're a super admin they should bypass those permissions anyway, and if they're set correctly but you're still seeing the error, something else must be interfering.

That's exactly my problem - this should not be happening. Can you think of what should I check for next?
I did made some changes to some of the php files of the forum (like showteam.php and online.php ...), mostly, so that my admin no. 1 will not appear on any list ("Who's online", forums, "Show Team" ...). But non of the files are from the AdminCP.

I'm willing to PM both admins (no. 1 and no. 3 - both are in full English username/password) if you want (my AdminCP is in English).
