[support] Organic Groups problem in 6.x - no admin access

[Metzler, David]

Access permissions are automatic for uid 1 (THE site admin), but not for
others, so if you're UID 1 then yes, you shouldn't need to grant
authenticated users or anonymous. I just wasn't sure whether you were
using that user.  

Sorry if I misunsterstood you  regarding your contact methodology.  Just
never hurts to be careful on this. It's unlike og maintainers to ignore
an issue.... 

Hmm... It's clear you've got something odd going on right now.  I might
try deleteing cache and session tables if it were my site. Just cause
that's helped me with weird problems before (I admit that's flailing a
bit). 

Does this issue seem like it might be relavent? 

http://drupal.org/node/128306

Could you also send me the issue number that you logged?

I just tried that, and it didn't fix the issue.  Thank you for the idea.

Under User Permissions, I can give anonymous users and authenticated
users 'administer organic groups' permissions, but I think it should be
automatic for site admins - there is no column for site admins.  Of
course I don't want to give all authenticated users this right, or
anonymous users.  As an extra step, I added a new role, and gave it
'administer organic groups' permissions, then gave my user that role,
and I still have the same issue.  Am I looking in the wrong place?

I have had this problem posted there for a long time with no response.

I could not find anyone else with this issue, which is why I posted it
as a new one, and why I posted it as a support request instead of a bug
because nobody else has duplicated it.  I didn't email any module
maintainers until the issue sat in their queue for a few months.  Then I
emailed Moshe, I think, and now it's been a few more months with still
no response.

Thank you for your help
