Hello -- something went wrong with one of my SS installs, and the admin accounts keeping getting kicked back with the error message:

You don't have access to this page. If you have another account that can access that page, you can log in below.

I know it is not a password issue - I even used "Security::setDefaultAdmin" in my config to make sure.

Also, I have tried a /dev/build?flush=1 but it didn't seem to change anything or repair any tables. I ran a MySQL table check/repair, and also checked the tables Groups, Permssions, Group_Members and Members but it all looks good.

Does anyone have any ideas for me on what to check next? Thank you very much!

Hi,

Did you check you DB? using phpmysql or something else?

Have you tried "I've lost my password" link?

I found the problem, but still need a more permanent fix...

I incorrectly assumed that the "canEdit" method was only for the API calls.

Once I commented out the following line in my code/Page.php, it started working again.

function canEdit() { return false; }

So... does anyone know how to deny access to editing for API calls only?

Thanks!
