Hi there. I've been getting the same error since upgrading to 1.8 I did a little debugging and here is some info for you. Error is caused by line 912 in com_profiler\comprofiler.php

if ( ! $user->storePassword() ) {

which is in turn caused by line 1277 in cb.tables.php

$return = $user->store();

The last one throws: You cannot create a user with this User Group Level. Only Super Administrators have this ability

Not sure why since I am simply requesting a new password and not creating a user. I will keep debugging and will probably hack it but rather see a true fix. Plus, I am sure you might be able to address it faster than me Thanks in advance.

Ok, then. Makes sense. The problem is that it does this w/any user level, even just "Registered."

Fair enough Kyle. I actually have 1.5 but that doesn't allow you to change password for SA. However, this functionality (requesting SA password reset) worked fine in CB 1.7. I take it you guys closed that hole? Was that intentional?

Then you've some sort of other error present as it works fine for everyone but Super Users in my tests. Are you receiving any other sort of error message? If possible apply the patched files in the ticket I've provided in my earlier post as it'll help expose what error is happening.


Well, I'll keep testing, I guess, but when I use the default Joomla login I don't have that problem.
