I’m trying to unsuspend this user, and clicking the “unsuspend” user (while logged in as an admin account, i’ve tried a couple of different ones) gives me the error “You are not permitted to view the requested resource.” Is there a certain order or change I need to make to un-suspend this user? Thanks!

Try revoking the Admin privilege first.
