Signature box for authenticated users - This field has been disabled because you do not have sufficient permissions to edit it

By anewman1980 on 20 Jan 2011 at 15:44 UTC

Hi, have just installed drupal for the first time, blown away by how flexible it appears.

Anyway, I have a problem whereby where authenticated users trying to edit their settings get a greyed out signature box stating "This field has been disabled because you do not have sufficient permissions to edit it". I have been through all the permissions and not managed to find one that fixes this. I am hoping it is stupidly simple and I am missing something.

Thanks in advance

If an account has been created by an admin who has Full HTML or other level of content authoring / text format privileges, the signature field will be set to it, effectively disabling the newly created user from using it. Go into your database, look up the "users: table, and change the "signature_format" field to filtered_html.

Thanks!

This was very helpful. I did create some users, including one of my own test accounts, with Full HTML. Now I have them set correctly. :)

As admin, you can also simply edit the user account, change the text format to one the user has access to, and then save the change. No database editing needed.
