That seems a bit extreme - why not simply access the backend database directly (mysql command line or something like phpmyadmin) and alter the record in the group_user table such that the user account is a member of the admin group?
You can lookup the user in the system_user table and the admin group in the groups table (at least for the 1.3.2 version we are running those are the tables). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Dale Shriver Sent: Thu 9/14/2006 10:31 AM To: User questions and discussions about OTRS.org Cc: Subject: RE: [otrs] Admin Link lost :( Same here. You have to start with a fresh database and never touch admin's privileges or groups. OTRS doesn't do a good job of protecting you from yourself in this area. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alan McKeown Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2006 10:11 AM To: User questions and discussions about OTRS.org Subject: RE: [otrs] Admin Link lost :( Hi, This happened to me some time ago and I had to get the sys admin guy to refresh OTRS.
