Remove locks item missing in manager

I have upgraded from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4 and I noticed that the "Remove Locks" item is now missing in the manager.

I am using the default admin account - I have tried with creating another administrator account but the item is still missing.

Is there anyone having the same problem and perhaps a possible solution?

Thanks....

A new permission for ’Remove Locks’ was added in 1.0.4. Have you run the installer in upgrade mode? That will update the default administrator role to have that permission.

If you are using a custom role, then you will need to ensure that the ’Remove Locks’ permission is enabled.

Hmmm, I have no idea, I upgraded via SimpleScripts provided by my webhosting provider.

I guess this means the permission was not added by the installer ... is there any way I can edit my admin account permissions now? I tried doing it through the manager but it does not allow modifications to the admin account...

You’ll have to go into the database and manually set that field to 1 then. It’s in the user_roles table, the last field.

For some reason the ’remove_locks’ field was missing altogether in the database. I added it and assigned it to the admin role which solved the problem.

Thank you both very much for all the help.
