I get this error in CB 1.4 + CBSubs 1.1.2 + Joomla 1.6

"You cannot edit a `registered`. Only higher-level users have this power."

I am logged in as an Administrator (not Super User). I have enabled "Allow Moderators to Edit User Profiles: Administrators and Super-Administrators only" and Moderator Groups will only let me select "Super User" (it will not keep any other setting).

I have also tried with the Super User account and get the same message.

The only setting that works is "Allow Moderators to Edit User Profiles: Super-Administrators only" when logged in as a Super User account.

Again each time I try to save the setting Moderator Groups to anything other then Super Users it reverts back to Super Users (in other words, it does not save).

Then can I get a Karma point?

I have a lot more testing of CS Subs with Joomla 1.6 to do, but I must understand the CB Fields and Tabs Protection Plugin Permission settings first. I will read the manual before I assume there is something wrong.

Applied patch to both files and uploaded to site.

Applied settings in CB configuration of:

"Moderator Groups: Administrators"
and
"Allow Moderators to Edit User Profiles: CB Moderators and levels above"
and/or
"Administrators and Super-administrators only"

I still get the "You cannot edit a `registered`. Only higher-level users have this power." message when I click "Update User Profile" on a registered user from the front end.

Just a thought here but, perhaps you can apply this to your error handler. A more precise error message might be...

"You cannot edit a user belonging to the `administrator` group. Moderators and Administrators cannot edit users belonging to groups of the same or higher level then their own. Contact the site's Administrator for further assistance."
