    Help!

    I think I may have messed up the permissions on my manager admin account. I was creating a new user and trying to configure the permissions when suddenly I got kicked out of the manager and was unable to then log back in. When I enter my details now I get the login screen again with no errors or extra details.

    I followed the instructions here and still can't login:

    Is there a way to reset the permissions of my admin account and get back my manager access? Help!

      Update: Still can't login and only sorta freaking out. Attached a screenshot from the manager log of where it looks like I went wrong before getting locked out. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

        Okay, figured this mess out.

        Don't know what the exact problem was but I took a backup copy of my database and made all the tables that seemed related to user permissions match. Every time I build a Revolution site I completely mess it up trying to setup permissions and users. I hate to keep going back to Evo but the documentation for Revolution is really lacking when it comes to setting up users and permissions. sad
