How to re-install removed 'Manage user' permission
« on: October 12, 2013, 06:24:53 am »
HELP!!! Whilst exploring various aspects of the security function, I've managed to inadvertently get myself into the following situation.

Whilst logged in as an admin user I removed the 'Security - manage users' permission from both the User Permissions and the Group Permissions (relating to the group to which admin user belongs). Don't ask why I did this - as I say, I was exploring!

I'm now in the position where I don't, as admin user, have the 'Manage users' option in the Project/Security drop-down. And I can't re-install that permission becuause I've removed my own ability to do so!!

Can I get mysefl out of this? This is just a "play" project, so there's no real harm done. But what if I was daft enough to do this on my company's Live Model?

Thanks, Q. I'd searched for references to enable and disable security but hadn't noticed this one if it had turned up from my searches. Cheers.
