permission error on Special:UserRights

Hello and exuse my english. Just installed Lockdown on MediaWiki 1.17.0. When entering as a bureaucrat who has 'userrights' privilege by default, there is a permission error on Special:UserRights, which claims i don't have such right to manage user rights. What could be the problem? Begging your pardon again. 81.30.184.63 17:56, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I got the same problem myself. Try to apply getEffectiveGroups(true) patch you can see in another thread below. Otherwise, try to add this line:

$wgSpecialPageLockdown['Userrights'] = array('sysop', 'bureaucrat');

Hope this helps!

After adding the line you advised, it works well. Thank you very much.

I had the same issue; adding the $wgSpecialPageLockdown line to LocalSettings.php, together with the getEffectiveGroups() hack described below, also fixed it for me.
