Thanks again Petar for responding,

I don't understand very well the files that are written out when using
the admin tool. So as you say it could be anything. I see that the
database records changed_by data which is helpful in tracking down the
problem. The apache logs also helped trace the actions.

I hope it is not did by assumption :-)

But there is all section Frontend::Admin::ModuleRegistration in SysConfig.

In Kernel/Config/Files folder, there is a file with all your custom settings
ZZZAuto.pm.
The defaults are in ZZZAAuto.pm
You can rename or move the ZZZAuto.pm to remove any changes, or take from
somewhere a cleen copy of ZZZAAuto.pm the default setting.

I just can guess what the admin did ...
And it can be anything :-) don't get me wrong but you should consider making
a fresh copy of the OTRS, maybe on other machine, just to check out is there
any problem with the DB ... :-/

This is what I have already verified. Is there a setting that
specifies the admin group or is it always assumed to be Admin (id=2).

And are there any settings on the module.
