Permission's Issue on Multisite with Network Admin

    Hi,

    First, thank you very much for a great plugin.

    I am using WP 3.9.6 Multisite (preparing for upgrade to latest version of WP)

    We recently upgraded your plugin (approximately 2wks ago) as we were preparing to upgrade our WP version. Given that I have upgraded your plugin many times and never experienced any problems I didn’t take time to do any testing before upgrading it (my mistake on that).

    Today was the first time that I needed to access it and I noticed when trying to access the admin page on on any site in our network that I receive a You don’t have sufficient permissions to access this page with a list of the sites that I do have permission on (sites where my Super Admin user is a registered as a user).

    Given that I am accessing it with my Super Admin account there shouldn’t be any permissions issues when accessing any admin page of any site, which is kinda the point of having a Super Admin.

    It had been approximately a year since our last upgrade of the plugin.

    I am not sure what permissions you have modified in the time period but you have set the permissions for accessing the admin page using some non-standard approach which doesn’t include permissions for users with Network Admin privileges.

    I have checked it with all 5 of our Super Admin accounts and the only way we are able to access the admin page is if we are assigned as a user on the individual site we are accessing.

    I am fairly confident that I can modify the permissions to correct this issue but I am sure that you will want to do this as a bug fix.

    Thanks,
    Pat

    Thanks for the bug report Pat. I haven’t changed anything about the permission for accessing the admin page in ages. I expect something in WordPress changed that I didn’t notice.

    Postie shows the “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page” message if the current user does not have the manage_options capability. Can you check if your super admin user has this capability?

    Hey Wayne,

    I found the issue and resolved it. It was not a permissions issue.

    I had a custom menu where I had coded the URL to postie admin page. The update to your plugin included a change in the admin page URL. I fixed the URL in our coded admin menu and this resolved the issue.

    Have a great week!
