Description

In some scenarios, it's undesirable for user manager users to have full admin capabilities, such as managing CP users and other things.

Can you describe how you have setup your firewall that gives you this issue?

There are only a few things I have changed. I think this problem is not dependend on the configuration. To test this problem, you can do the following:
- Make a new user
- Give this user only one "effective privileg": Access to the 'System: User Password Manager'
- Log in as this user
- Go to the User Manager and you can do all the things, I discribed.

  • Affected Version deleted (2.0)

That's just a fact of how it works, not a bug. If you have access to the user manager you have full admin rights.
