Ovid, yes, I am using that program (except version 1.58)

I modified the top customization section (everything worked ok with flat files), then put in a few debug statements after it did not work. 

if ($ADMIN_GROUP){
    print "\n<p> ADMIN GROUP defined:$ADMIN_GROUP:\n<p>";
}

[download]
This returns

ADMIN GROUP defined:administrators:

I put in "use strict;", but it crashed, I am wading through the errors like 

Global symbol "$CONFIG_FILE" requires explicit package name at ./user_
+manage line 38.

I am positive I have put a user "bob" in group "administrators" in the database table, but the "do_administration" is never executed when I log in as bob.

What I do not know is how to put in a debug to tell what group the program thinks user bob is in.

I really don't think the problem is the code, but probably my setup, I just can not pinpoint why the "do_administration" subroutine is not being called for people in group "administrators".

Thanks, Daniel
