Ecommerce developers with Magento

I see this problem sometimes, when, my url expries due to inactivity and I click on / login / go to same url automaticall – the KEY seen in url does not exist.
So, it gives out the message to me.

i then tryede ask for new password got it but still cant login

What if you are locked out and the function “Permissions” is not shown anymore after succesfull login using admin login account?

Thit happend to me after making a new Magento admin user and trying to restrict some of its rights.

In older Magento versions you need to reset admin privileges sometimes. This was changed in 1.3.x versions where is enough to logout and login again if you have similar problems, assuming that it’s not the problem in the extension you’re trying to install.

For those that aren’t careful when setting up permissions I think our new article may help

@chris please check admin_user,admin_role,admin_rule table.according to my perception you changed the permission that’s why you got “access denied” error.

@Nadya.try to installed new magento separately and match the value of existing database tables(admin_user,admin_role,admin_rule table) with your new database tables.and also clear your magento cache(public_html->Var->cache).hope it help

Thanx Yaar… its too great…

If using 1.4+ and none of the above works you can try adding the node from config.xml to a new file adminhtml.xml in your module’s etc directory.

@v here is folder path app\design\frontend\default\default\template\inchoo
also check the extension files and folders permission and try to reinstall it.

@AK Thanks for the info. Still having problem though. The files are located under app\design\frontend\default\default\template\inchoo (block_featured_products.phtml & view.phtml). They are both set to 666 permissions is that correct? The inchoo/ folder is 777. I’ve tried uninstalling / reinstalling. Strange thing is if I modify the administrator Role, and set the permissions to ‘Custom’ and the tick all the boxes the Featured products link no longer appears in the admin. I’m not sure if this is related or not.

@AK Thanks for the reply. I’ve checked that folder permission is 755 & all 3 files are set to 644. Still getting access denied though. Are these the only files associated with the extension? The featured products link under Catalog is also not appearing, the only link is under the configuration which is where I get the access denied. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated!

hi,

i have a big issue, i selected custom under roles and did not check any of the modules / menu. so the next time i logged in, i dont see any menu in the admin and i get only access denied error.

PLS HELP!!!

Thanks

I’ve been trying to do this for a while and never succeeded.

Say i have to create different role, let’s say manager, which under any circumstances shouldn’t have all privileges. That’s no problem for standard Magento, but is a problem if you want to grant that role the privileges for an extension (for example, the Inchoo Gallery module). I tried inserting the admin rules manually in the db tables but still haven’t succeeded.

Anyone know some way i can get this to work?

Thanks

Ok…just deleted all items in table: admin_role and ran this SQL

LOCK TABLES `admin_role` WRITE;
/*!40000 ALTER TABLE `admin_role` DISABLE KEYS */;
INSERT INTO `admin_role` VALUES (1,0,1,1,’G',0,’Administrators’),(3,1,1,0,’U',1,’Store’);
/*!40000 ALTER TABLE `admin_role` ENABLE KEYS */;
UNLOCK TABLES;

Now I am back in the the admin tool…but still seeing Access denied inside and menu options are all gone.

Thanx Works for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
