If You have created an admin user for your joomla website but try to login at the backend and receive the error: Warning You do not have access to the Administrator section of this site. If you can access your mysql database, using a management tool such as phpmyadmin, go to the table xxx_ _users   (where xxx is your prefix) and identify the ID of the user you want to login with. Now go to xxx _user_usergroup_map      . change the usergroup.id of the user you see to login with to 8 or identify an admin group number and use that.

I encountered the dark screen problem with bluestacks. I realized when I click on notifications, the related apps will open but the home screen was black. I searched online without finding a solution. However a tip that an app could be malfunctioning led me to suspect the default launcher / Home screen. It turned out the Gamepop home screen or default bluestacks launcher was malfunctioning leading to the dark home screen. I searched for an alternative home screen/launcher by googling "launcher apk " and settled on this website http://www.appsapk.com/android/launchers/ where I found a simple launcher Hexy Launcher and downloaded the APK. I ran it on my pc by double-clicking and running with the bluestacks apk installer. After that, I had the option to choose my preferred launcher in bluestacks where I chose the hexy launcher. Problem Solved

User Access Management has been a well sought after feature in cPanel with the request dating back a couple of years. Granting access to multiple users to perform actions on the cPanel interface has always filled web developers and website administrators with anxiety as as websites, databases and email accounts can easily be deleted. A single username and password also meant no audit trail as to who did what and when. Such concerns necessitated the request for a user access management solution to grant limited access privileges to other users of the cPanel interface. The request has finally been heeded by cPanel developers and it come as a great relief to many site administrators across the globe. Thumbs up to the developers and keep up the good work.
