Admin user permissions problem

Post by jmcgin51 »

Earlier today, I posted in another thread (http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/topic,12609.0.html) about problems getting a backend user access to ONLY Quizzard.

Well, I'm no longer having that problem, because now I cannot restrict backend users at all.  Even when assigned ONLY to a group with ONLY Quizzard access, my user has full Admin access!  Why???  What information do you all need from me to help troubleshoot this?  I've cleared the cache, with no change.  Running on IIS, shared hosting, PHP 5.2.0, CMSMS v1.0.6 stable, and I haven't done anything today except uninstall/reinstall System Information, and create three quizzes in Quizzard.

I don't know if this problem is caused by Quizzard.  I'm going to backup my DB, then uninstall Quizzard and see if the issue goes away...

well, I backed up the DB, uninstalled and removed Quizzard, logged in as my "Quizzard-only" user, and had very limited Admin options, which was correct.  I then reinstalled Quizzard (but did not restore the DB), and logged in as my "Quizzard-only" user.  Still looking good.  I then restored my DB, and logged in again as my "Quizzard-only" user.  Still looking good.  Which is good, but frustrating, because I don't know why my restricted user had full Admin access just a few minutes ago.  GRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrr.

Oh, well, I guess I don't need any help right now, except for the Quizzard questions in the other thread.  I'd be interested in knowing if anyone else has had this issue, though...

thanks for reading...
