As far as I know it is not done by single users but by user groups. I remember the same thing, my settings changed after the install and I had to go and change the permissions back to get things working right again. I think you will need to edit them. If you have an old copy of the localsettings file from before the install look at it and set the permissions up the same way and things should work correctly.

Hello,
I did not change anything in the local settings but there are already a lot of settings referring to permissions. I remarked that in the settings section of my (and other) accounts there is no entry under "User of the member group:". Normally I could find in this section "sysop" or "bureaucrat". But it is empfty.
How do you set permissions for single users in the local settings file? I do not mean for a usergroup because this seems not to work.

If I remember right when we upgraded I had to go to the localsettings file and set permissions to true for many of my users. Have you looked at permissions in the local settings file? Jeff On 8/4/2011 9:47 AM, catlyn@gmx.de wrote:
Hello, After an update from wiki software version 1.16.2 to 1.17.0 I have a problem with the user rights. Even my own account which is registered for administrator and bureaucrat has not these rights anymore. How can I correct this error? Anybody an idea? Thanks in advance. Regards, Catlyn
