 * I’m a superadmin for a stable network with seven subsites running for a couple
   of years without incident. When we got into work this morning, the subsites are
   all mostly functional, but the network admin panel is no longer accessible. When
   we try to log into [http://site.com/wp-admin/network/](http://site.com/wp-admin/network/)
   we get the following message:
 * You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
 * Any locally activated plugins are working properly, but all network-activated
   plugins aren’t active (as well as the Plugins tabs in subsite dashboards–these
   are also gone).
 * We haven’t upgraded or made any changes, nor does it appear we’ve been auto-upgraded–
   we’re still running 3.6. Seems to have happened around 3am local time. I’m guessing
   from when I started getting comment moderation notices in my email–Akismet had
   stopped working.
 * Any ideas? Most of the issues I’ve seen with absent network admin panels have
   been just after a multisite installation. That’s not the case here.

 * It could be possible that your host upgrade something that broke your site. What
   hosting do you use?

 * I’m at a university, and it’s hosted internally. *Could* be some kind of a server
   upgrade, but they would have done it without any heads up. They leave us alone
   most of the time, which is why I’m trying to troubleshoot this instead of punting
   to university web services. I’ve got a call in to them just the same. Thanks 
   for the suggestion!

 * Answer! Turns out it was a host issue. There was a storage outage elsewhere in
   the system that seems to have caused database errors. They’ve repaired the databases
   and restarted and everything is happy again. Now to update….
