Full disclosure: I'm new to CMS Builder, and my boss asked me to tweak a site that's been untouched for a couple of years. However, I'm fairly computer savvy and surprised I can't figure this out with the documentation provided.

I can't find the "Admin" section at all. When I log into our site at ".../cmsAdmin/admin.php" I see all of the individual site sections on the left, and I can tweak the content -- but I can't figure out how to create/edit/delete any of the sections themselves. The documentation says I should click, "Admin" -- but I can't find that anywhere. Under "User Accounts," the account I'm using has "Editor" access (which is the highest right?). So I have no idea how I can't find the "Admin" section or any other means to edit sections.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

It sounds like your user account doesn't have admin access permissions?

Under your user account, is the Admin Access check box checked?

I don't see that option anywhere (for any of the accounts) on the User Accounts section.

A developer helped us put together this site (before my time), so is it possible that he gave only himself Admin Access privileges? If so, is there anyway to undo/circumvent this?

He isn't listed as one of the users in the User Accounts section, incidentally.

I can modify my own user account - but there's no check box for "Admin Access."

On the first page, where it lists all of the users, there's a column that says, "Admin Access," and all of us are set at 0. When I click on any individual name, I have a dropdown menu under "Access," and I can choose between: None, Author, Editor, and By Section. But no checkbox.

Let me know if this helps. I will request 2nd level support. Thanks.
