XF 2.1 Administrator permissions

[ck2020]

When I go to our user group permissions, why would our "Administrative / Administrator" role have nearly no privileges? They have less permissions than someone unregistered. Is that some sort of bug from our import possibly? At this point, I should put YES in every slot though correct?

Thanks, silly question probably...

Hello!
General user rights are inherited by the administrator.

More details in the documentation.

No need to put yes unless it is to override something in they proimary user group[ (which would be registered) . At that is their primary they have all the permissions of the registered group already. They get all their admin access as defined in the Groups > staff > Administrators (ie what they can see and do in the ACP)

I think the main point of an adminstrator secondary user group is to assign any moderator permissions, access to private admin discussion forums and style them differently if you want.

Ok, I need to make sure the main admin is in the registered user group...

Thanks to both!

Everyone must be registerd group[ as primary.

Everyone must be registerd group[ as primary.

Must is a strong word, but unless you have a specific use case (and you have a deep understanding of the permissions inheritance system) then it's generally the best practise.

Must is a strong word,

Must was meant to mean if you want the permissions to work in the way intended. I am sometimes somewaht of a maverick so I can understand wanting to do things differently - but then you need to be aware that things may not always work as you would like!
