I do not have any "groups" in vB. I do have User Groups. Maybe if I outline how I set it up, you might see the error I made:
1) In vB, one user, GCC is Super Administrator, one user, PaulP is Administrator. Both can logon and off and access admin duties without issue.
2) installed Coppermine in separate folder, Custom Groups to "yes", used GCC and same password as in vB for the admin setting. When completed. GCC can access admin pages.
3) Enabled bridge. As soon as bridge is connected, it does show GCC logged in. but when I go to Users/Groups to do sync as instructions call for, I get an error message says "You don't have permission to access this page. "
4) If I log out as GCC and re-logon as PaulP, the bridge does work and shows me logged in and able to navigate folders, just can't get to admin pages. Again, if I log out as PaulP and back in as GCC, it shows pages but won't allow me to get to admin pages (not showing in menu items)
5) If I use the backdoor (bridgemgr.php) and go in and turn off the bridge, then I can access the admin settings but bridge is disabled.
6) when enabled, the bridge appears to be working as designed, allowing members to access coppermine pages with vB logon credentials. It is just that we can't access the admin section.
7) Tried adding a group to Coppermine called "Super Administrator" so the names matched exactly but that didn't seem to have any affect.
Tried changing "Custom Groups" to no. Still acts the same way, bridge gets enabled but no one gets admin rights, only user rights.
Any ideas? I am not opposed to experimenting but don't know what else to try
Thanks for your help
