I have a case that may justify the need to login as “system”

So…I made a mistake and moved a category into another category (creating a sub-category). I saved the sub-category without adding any users in the permissions…so even as an admin I cant access it. When I try, I get the error `Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private.`.

I was hoping I could login as system to re-add permissions to admins can access that sub-category.

## UPDATE

I was able to use /safe-mode to fix the issue 🙂
