If I'm logged in as Site Admin (not super User) and a regular user as well, in two different browser windows (IE7) not tabs...I can give the regular user admin permissions by clicking on the same page for both pages. I'll mess about some more and see if I can re-create and write down the actual steps, has anyone else noticed this...oh yeah I'm using 4.8.0 OK try this
1) log in as regular user - go to page with forums on
2) open new browser window - login as site admin
3) refresh browser with regular user - BLAM!! user has page edit permissions (when he shouldn't)
The modules I'm using are UsersOnline, Forum, Store, and Media. All the modules are upgraded, but the site is 4.8.0 Core. Any answers?
