Summary09569: admin with uid>1 cannot set superadmin permissions
Description

If the user id of the admin user isn't "1", the admin looses his special permissions, e.g. to grant superadmin rights to other users.

Steps To Reproduce

For database setups running a master-master configuration there are special recommendations. For example to set

auto_increment_increment =
auto_increment_offset =

to special values to avoid conflicts between the nodes.

If a server is set do

auto_increment_increment = 2
auto_increment_offset = 2

it will always set auto_increment columns to 2, 4, 6, 8, ...

Installing limesurvey in such an environment will produce an admin with uid=2.

This was true at least for limesurvey-1.91plus-build120226 and has not been taken in account during the upgrade procedure.

Additional Information

I would recommend to not hardcode the uid=1. Either the uid should be configurable or the correct value should be taken from the database min(uid). Maybe non-standard setups with admin uid>1 should be fixed during upgrade.

Changing the loginID values in
application/models/Permission.php
application/controllers/admin/useraction.php

temporarily solved the issue for me.

TagsNo tags attached.
