I'm a little new to some areas of YAF so I'm not *positive* this is a bug. Could be a RTFM error.

I'm trying to open the admin_hostsettings, but first I can't find a link anywhere to it. I don't recall maybe this a part of the install only?

If I rig the URL to open admin_hostsettings, I recieve an "Access Denied". The user I am using is has administrator access in YAF. Shouldn't an admin be able to access this page?

It should, yes Razz

Try adding a new Admin user. If it works, dive into the user tables and compare the settings. Maybe something got dropped.

Only the "Host Admin" can access the Host Settings. Doesn't look like that admin user has Host Admin rights.

You are right on there. Just finished tracing through code to find a 'isHostAdmin' which is different than an administrator. And got here proud of figuring out the issue only to see you already answered the question. Embarassed

Only issue is there is no way to add someone to the hostadmin. I think I might have deleted some role or profile while trying to figure out the relinking probem I'm having. I'll reinstall YAF in a new db and see what comes out of it and do a comparison.

I'm definitely learning the YAF code though... bit by bit.

This isn't a role, but a user. Edit the user and select "Host Admin". They ahould also be a member of the "Administrator" group.
