Please paste your $wgGroupPermissions configuration.

$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createaccount'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['edit'] = false;

$wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat']['usermerge'] = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat']['maintenance'] = true;

Do you have any $wgRevokePermissions entries? What does Special:ListUsers/username for that user show?

Tcaton-nm (talkcontribs)

No.

I beleive I solved it.
Our LDAP system uses usernames in the form of USername - FIRST INITIAL FIRSTNAME_FIRST INITIAL LASTNAME_rest lowercase.
Logging in first past authentication but then created a new user with username: UPPER CASE FIRST INITIAL_lowercase everything else.
Therefore the user didn't have permissions being a new user.

It doesn't matter how you type them in - MW switches them to Urest_lower.

Hi! Two things: On Special:UserLogin/signup, does it really create an account only by Administrators? Well, that points to a missing link label. Anyway, you ahve to send an email to accounts@wiki.roblox.com in order to show the link to request an account on Roblox Wiki. It takes few weeks, months or years.
