[image] when I tried to grant a user admin privilege this happened, is this a bug or I missed some settings or configuration? I need help for this.

Do you have 2factor authentication enabled for your admin account? I can’t reproduce that message without having 2fa on the admin account, but with the correct 2fa code, it gets overridden and I am able to grant admin access.

[image] I’m not sure these are all settings for 2-factor auth, I enabled for staff before and I still have to input the code to sign-in, but I think I set it back to default earlier. should I disable the first one?

That are the general settings where you can set who has to enable 2 factor authentication. The settings for your account are at your preferences at {yoursite}/my/preferences/second-factor.

I tried to disable the enforce second factor on external auth, still 403, is anything else I missed configured?

I believe you need to be autheticate with 2fa yourself or disable it in your own user preferences like what Moin described above. I don’t know how your external authentication is configured though. I can reproduce the 403 you described, but with my correct 2fa code, it allows me to perform the adm…

I will try to find out, thanks anyway

Ho provato a disabilitare l’applicazione del secondo fattore sull’autenticazione esterna, ancora 403, c’è qualcos’altro che ho dimenticato di configurare?
