 * I’m, I think, having permission problems? I can’t save any changes in the SMTP
   settings. It worked fine on my test site but when I try to get it to work on 
   the actual site it saves none of the changes and the send test mail isn’t there.
   The needed info is there since I transferred the database.
 * So what permissions does this actually require? I should already have the maximum
   access so could this be something else?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblem-with-database-permission%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@reseliz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reseliz/).
 * The plugin doesn’t need any special permissions, other than Administrator user.
   If you are accessing Settings page by a user with Administrator permissions, 
   it should be working fine.
 * The way it behaves, I suspect you’re probably using some security plugin that
   prevents the plugin from saving settings in the database. Can you try to temporary
   disable it and see if it helps?

 * Okay, that might be it. Thank you, I’lk try that.
