 * Hi all,
 * I’ve been added to a site and given the role Administrator. I’ve confirmed this
   under the Dashboard > Users tab where I’ve definitely been listed as Admin.
 * However, my dashboard seems incomplete. I’m missing Appearence,Tools, Plugin 
   tabs that I’ve seen in other screenshots.
 * We have Elementor and when I try to access Elementor Theme Builder it says Sorry,
   you are not allowed to access this page.
 * I tried to update Elementor under the plugins but when I pressed update it said
   I didn’t have permission to update it and now the update button for Elementor
   has disappeared.
 * How do I fix this?

 * First, check whether you have a single-site installation or a multisite installation.
   With a multisite installation, you can be an administrator of one of the sites
   within it, but you also have limited permissions compared to a single-site installation.
 * If that’s not the case, it could indicate that something is wrong with the permissions
   in the project. You mentioned you were added – why not talk to the person who
   added you there? A second administrator might be helpful in checking this out.
