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

[Earnie Boyd]

David,

I don't know if it is related.  The issue is at  
http://drupal.org/node/473464.  I've asked a clarifying question.

Quoting "Metzler, David" <metzlerd at evergreen.edu>:

> Access permissions are automatic for uid 1 (THE site admin), but not for
