    I installed some time ago PhpGedView on my father-in-law's homepage: www.lagnotore.se and everything has been working perfect. Some time ago new registered members of the site started to have Administrator rights in PhpGedView and I cant understand why they are giving Admin rights. In Joomla all new registered members are set to be REGISTERED and even if they are listed in Joomla as registered they are listed as Admin in PhpGedView.

    Would appreciate some help where I can set the configuration so new added members only get an ACCESS right to PhpGedView.

    TMK there is no 'auto' authorization for PGV. If someone registers, you or another admin accesses and authorizes the account, sets the personal and pedigree INDI-ID numbers and adds any comments to the account you wish for future reference.

    What version are you using? What is the sign-up process? How many admins are there? Who's authorizing accounts?

    I'm not sure how you are linking pgv to joomla (some sort of third-party module?), but my guess is that this module is creating the new account privileges.

    Thanks all for your comments: It helped me to figure out what was happening.
    Norton 360 was active in the background and had autofill set as an option, so every time a new user was entered and the PhpGedViev administrator opened the user pan, at closure Norton 360 autofilled the Admin's username and password - even if the changes wasn't saved it change the Access privileges to Administrator.

    Thanks for letting us know.

    I'm not in favour of ANY software that "decides" for me, or tries to be "helpful".
