[support] Drupal permissions

[Bill Fitzgerald]

Hello, Daniel,

Try these two steps, in this order:

1. Navigate to admin/build/modules/uninstall (administer - site building 
- modules, click the "uninstall" tab) -- check to see if there are any 
disabled modules with uninstall features, esp any modules related to 
access control. If so, uninstall them.

2. Then, navigate to admin/content/node-settings (administer - content 
management - post settings ) and look for the "Rebuild Permissions" 
button. Click it, and rebuild your permissions.

You also might want to look at your logs, and clear all the cache* 
tables in the database, just for good measure.

Cheers,

Bill
