Hi,
That’s very odd, do you have any other plugin installed that provides features related to user roles and capabilities? Are you aware of any changes made to the administrator role?

PS : There is a button used to refresh capabilities as shown on http://docs.itthinx.com/document/groups/setup/capabilities/ – it could be interesting to see if there are any missing capabilities

Hi, in the meantime I found out that the problem also occurs when I just deactivate Groups. There’s no other plugin in my WordPress installation related to permissions (user roles, capabilities). Only one capability currently is used with Groups: ‘view_private_galleries’, to restrict access to some articles (photo galleries) to members of the groups ‘Friends’ and ‘Family’. It seems that somehow the user role ‘Administrator’ looses WordPress-built-in capabilities when the currently installed version of Groups is deactivated or removed.

Ok thanks for that. If this happens when you deactivate Groups, then it must be an issue with the permissions of your user account or the administrator role. This would not be related to Groups itself.
My guess is that the administrator role is missing read_private_galleries or some plugins removes it from that role. Maybe if you create a group and assign the read_private_galleries capability to it and add your user account to that group it would help? Anyhow, I’d recommend you figure out what removes this capability from the very administrator role.
