Thread:Project:Support desk/Changing Users & Adding "ConfirmAccount" Extension/reply (7)

Hi!

Your screenshot makes me think that you used the extension UserAdmin. Then you have something with AccessControl and PermissionACL in place. Maybe it makes sense to comment these lines for now. That way these extensions will be deactivated and cannot interfere with assigning user permissions.

The problem is that the user, which you are using, does currently not have the right permissions. Fix the permissions for the user and you will also be able to edit MediaWiki:Sidebar again.


 * Log in with one of the users.
 * Check the Preferences page of that user. Which groups does the page display you is the user member of?
 * Edit LocalSettings.php and give one of these groups the permission "userrights".
 * Then open the page Special:UserRights. This should no longer give a permission error then.
 * Adjust the userrights as you wish.
