Sticky All users have Administrator privileges

Thank you. The first thing to note is that your new users do not have "natively" have Administrator rights. This is shown, clearly, in this screen snapshot of your users, below:


However, this does not explain why things are behaving strangely. The reason your site behaved strangely was because you had changed Global Configuration » Permissions. Unless you really know what you are doing, you must be very careful making these kinds of changes.

I believe I have now fixed everything and your site (and forum, in particular) should behave the way that it was intended to. Let us hope that others will not be tempted to fiddle with these settings on a live website unless they have thoroughly tested what those things do on a test site first.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking this NOOB step by step. Everything is working great and I can finally launch my site.

I can't say enough positive things about your help!

My name is Oscar and I just left you a great comment on your FB fan page...

Hello,

I'm setting up my website and i don't know what happend but in Kunena all user got Administrators. A few days ago everything worked fine registred users were registred admins were admins.
I have Kunena 1.6.4 with J! 1.6 and CB 1.4
In CB's Userprofile or in J! user manager the users are shown as they are, Registred and their Kunena Rank is also OK (Fresh Boarder).

Please Help what should I do to fix this.

Thanks

G'day, Piszi, and welcome to Kunena.

I recently fixed a problem like this for someone else - it had nothing to do with Kunena and it took me a few hours to figure out what that person had done: see Every new user has Administrator rights There is something that you've changed from the standard J! 1.6 user group setup that you haven't told us.

I'm prepared to help but, as I've said, this has nothing to do specifically with Kunena. If you would like my help, please contact me by PM.

I've had this problem too, and more specifically it was because under

Global configuration -> permissions

The user group registrered had been assigned allowed to super admin. Set this to inherited instead.

Thanks for reply,

You were right it, has nothing to do with Kunena, accidently i set component access to allow for registred users.

U saved me Thank You.
