    Missing Settings / Developer sections even when using Admin account

    Hello, we've inherited a website built by a 3rd-party using Umbraco 7.1.8. We've been told we have access to everything, but none of our users can access settings / developer etc.

    I have an Administrator account. If I view my user account I can see the User Type is Administrator (other types include Editor, Writer and [translator].

    Underneath details I see a Sections list which shows only Content, Media, Users and Umbraco Contour.

    Please can you tell me how I can enable other sections?

    Thank you.

    I figured it out by a bit of reverse engineering. In the database there's a table called umbracoUser2app. It has two fields: user & app. The user is a FK on umbracoUser.Id field and app is the name of the menu item. So in my case, for user id 27 (my user) I addedd the following:

    27, settings

    27, developer

    After this point, not only can I sign in and see the missing menu items, I can set these items for other users now.

    Hope this helps someone.
