Does your account have the sysop group in Special:UserRights? There's also an admin, or administrator group.

Hi,
Recently my wiki site got attacked by somebody using API and thousands of pages and users were created. So I had to re-image the VM (ubunto 14.04) and installed 1.26.0 and manually re-created the wiki from scratch Then encountered some difficulty setting up proper user group privileges to protect the site from vandalism.
First, I disabled ('false') 'createpage' for all user groups '*' like below in LocalSettings.php. But it looked like disabled administrator creating pages. So I added another line with 'sysop' to allow it. But it still doesn't allow. I created a new user group and allowed "createpage", and this works. So I'm wondering why an administrator can't create a page.
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['createpage'] = true;
Does anyone know why this doesn't work?
