no "Groups" on web console page

Hi -

Zoneminder v1.36.12 via rpmfusion on Fedora 35.

My main web console page has no "Groups" item, it just has the "Console", "Options", "Log", "Filters" and more.

The documentation shows this highlites this as "C" on https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/st ... arted.html, but I have no Groups there.

How can I get groups to show up?

Thanks ...

Edit your user and grant the permission to view Groups.

How can I do that for the "admin" user?

My admin user does have an * by it, I don't know if that means anything.

Edit: I added another user and gave them edit permissions on everything and was able to add a group using that new user.

But, I can't change what the "admin" user can do.

You might try changing the username to something else.

At some point I made it impossible to edit the admin user, but am now thinking that was a bad idea.

You can always edit the record in mysql..

mysql -u zmuser -p zm
UPDATE Users set Groups='Edit' WHERE Username='admin';

That worked, thanks.
