XF 1.5 permission hell

[vanucci]

Hello

The most complicated thing next to brain surgery is the permission system in xenforo.

I have some how managed to lock myself, super admin out of any private forums.

I have tried changing my user group permissions and user group to no avail.

Whats the score here ?

Can you provide screenshots of your current user group and node permissions?

I think its something to do with one of my secondary groups being deafult registered.

I've just unchecked it and now i can see it.

Is the default registered always going to be a secondary group for people, even when i change their primary ?

There's your problem. Everyone should have Registered as their primary user group. All other user groups should be secondary.

Thank you.

I'll delve into this after work.
