Strange Admin View

On one of my cs-cart dev sites, I have an "is_root" admin account that is not in any usergroups.

When I login, I don't see standard top-menu layout. Specifically:

Addons/Administration/Design menus are reversed and there is no Settings menu and there are no Products or Order menu

Content of those menus is restricted as if there were permissions issues. I.e. Addons does not have a "Manage addons" menu item, Adminstration has no Upgrade Center or other key pieces and Design has no layouts or theme items.

However, I can access anyone of those areas via using the dispatch command like site/admin.php?dispatch=addons.manage which implies that it is NOT really a permissions issue so something else must be triggering the restrictions. RESTRICTED_ADMIN is NOT defined.

I have confirmed that there are no usergroup links for that user (or any users on this site). I have cleared the cookies in my browser to ensure that the session gets reset, cleared the cache, etc.

Has anyone seen this before. Given this is a dev site, it's entirely possible that something under development has adjusted something but I'm not sure what it could be.

What can cause the menu items to reverse themselves and to have restricted content. Usually I'd relate that to permissions issues related to usergroups. But there are no usergroup_links in the DB and the privileges table looks normal.

Hello!

It can be the issue with menu itself. For example, some add-on added new item and made a mistake in schema file. Try to check this case.

Yes, that was it. Eroneous schema/menu/menu.post.php file that was empty.

Helpdesk ticket submitted nearly a week ago and they still can't even connect to my server and offered no suggestions.

Thanks Oleg for the pointer. Given this is a dev site, I knew it must be something simple.

Thank you for informing. It is good to know.
