Timwi,

Please patch your database using: ./maintenance/archives/patch-userlevels-defaultgroups.sql

That will create default groups and assign to anonymous users the right to create an account.

Your patch just broke a feature known as "only sysop can create account".

I am reverting your change.

Ignore my reply. Did not revert.

I need to come up with a better patch to restrict user account creation and to allow the creation of account by someone else (ex: bureaucrat).
