I am a Super User but piwik does not recognise that

Support & Bugs

I am trying to add new website, but when I hit ‘Save’ I get an error message saying that I need to be a super user to add websites.

I am a Super user, in fact, I am the only user.

Can any help?

I assume you can log in, so the userid and password you’re using are OK.

You can try using some sort of tool to inspect the database table “piwik_user”. The column “superuser_access” should have the value 1 instead of zero.

I use Mysqldumper for this (I like its user interface), and others often use mysqladmin. There are other tools out there – just do a Google search for mysqladmin.

I hope this helps.
