Hi Adam,
This usually happens when some plugin adds additional capabilities to the system.
AAM has internal mechanism which is caching the current user’s capabilities for 10 day. This was done to speed-up the AAM. The cache is clean each time you hit “Save” button in AAM screen.
So each time you have this issue, you have to go to AAM. Select Current Role – Administrator, Current User – yourself and click Restore default button. Or just make sure that all capabilities are checked and hit Save.
This should resolve the problem.
Regards,
Vasyl

BackWPup does create 3 user roles. This does sound like the issue. Thanks again for the “fix”!
