 * I have tried as my normal username (which is set to an admin), and my actual 
   admin username to delete or edit links from the blogroll. I have also attempted
   with both usernames (admin and my regular login which is set to admin) to create
   a new user, both return the message “You don’t have permission to do that.” This
   started out as a blogroll issue, not being able to delete or edit links, but 
   I am not sure of the extent that this goes, since I cannot create new users now
   either. This all happened after an upgrade to 2.1.
 * Any ideas?

 * Deactivate all plugins – reactivate them one by one, testing in between.

 * That was among the first thing I tried. 🙁
 * Changing my account from admin to editor and then back to admin made it function.
   I would say this is a bug or a permissions issue, since as editor I was allowed
   to change my own status to mod, but it seems to be working all right for now.
   Looking forward to next version, hopefully that will fix it.
