After upgrade smf 1 on smf 2, admin do not have all permissions.
I need to update permissions for group 1. How to update permissions for group 1 from phpmyadmin?

Administrators should have all permissions. What permissions are missing?

I had installed ad managment mod and administrators are not able to see ads.
Now, admins do not see it. New install mod ad managment is perfect configure but group 1 missing this permission.

It's better to ask it at the mod's support topic, perhaps the author of the mod will be able to help you out Admins should have all permissions, that's why I was suprised that they didn't have all permissions

Probably somewhere in DB is old set permissions and now admins missing this permission.
Installing and deinstalling does not help.
SQL query from phpmyadmin would certainly solve the problem

SQL query for this update is??

Hi, if the user is an admin. Any permission checks are automatically returned as true. So a query won't help.

From the allowedTo() function in Security.php

Code Select Expand


// Administrators are supermen :P.
if ($user_info['is_admin'])
return true;

I do not understand. What should I do?

It is best to ask the mod author for a specific question regarding the modification.

Any permissions yes, but that not. Group 1 and group 2 had on smf 1 disable ads for individual positions. Now, on smf 2 this groups can not see the ads in that positons. I did install i reinstall that mod. Also, enable and disable ads but problem is not resolved.
Obvius, old settings ad management is there somewhere in the database. How to fix this?
