# Multisite Issues with Passkey

 * As a Super Admin on a WordPress Multisite installation, I’ve encountered several
   issues when using Wordfence passkey authentication. These issues appear to affect
   the Multisite environment specifically.
 * When a passkey is enabled for my Super Admin account, the WordPress Admin Bar
   does not appear on the frontend while I’m logged in. Additionally, when I edit
   an existing page or post and select **Preview Changes**, WordPress returns the
   error:
 * **“Sorry, you are not allowed to preview drafts.”**
 * I was able to reproduce the issue consistently. When I remove the passkey, the
   Admin Bar returns and Preview Changes works normally. When I add the passkey 
   again, the problems return.
 * My Super Admin permissions remain intact, and normal access to the WordPress 
   dashboard, Pages, Plugins, Users, etc. is unaffected.
 * This appears to be related to authentication/session handling with passkeys on
   WordPress Multisite.

 * Hi [@drewdrewchristophercom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drewdrewchristophercom/),
   sorry to see you’re having trouble.
 * Could I just double-check if you’re using any custom role editor or membership
   plugin to change anything about the permissions a Super Admin has, or is it totally
   standard? I appreciate the Preview Changes error doesn’t look browser-specific,
   but did you happen to run any tests to see if the admin bar issue presented across
   different browsers?
 * It may assist us in this case to see a report from the master site’s **Wordfence
   > Tools > Diagnostics** menu. You can send that to us at **wftest @ wordfence.
   com**. Click on **“Send Report by Email”**. Please add your forum username where
   indicated and _**respond here after you have sent it**._
 * **NOTE:** It should look as follows – Screenshot of [Tools > Diagnostic > Send by Email](https://www.wordfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/diagnosticsendbyemail.png)
 * Thanks,
   Peter.
