Hi there,

Iast night I created a temporary superuser in the backend using admin tools.

However today I am getting constantly blocked any time I click on someones profile on my site. The reason is: Reason: nonewfrontendadmins

I've tried going through admin tools and also searching support but I am unable to find a resolution to the problem,

Any help greatly appreciated! Thank you x

Components, Admin Tools, Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF, click on Hardening Options.

Set “Disable creating / editing users from the frontend” to Yes.

Check the “ Disable creating / editing users in these groups from the frontend”. It should only contain Super Users. If not, fix it.

Click on Save (even if made no changes).

Back on the same page, set “Disable creating / editing users from the frontend” to No.

Click on Save.

Note: If you want to allow Super users to edit their user profile in the front-end do not follow the next two steps.

Back on the same page for a third time, set “Disable creating / editing users from the frontend” to Yes.

Click on Save & Close.
