Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa/issues/2627

Fresh install through Modoboa installer pulled yesterday, on Ubuntu 20.04. Initial setup of a domain is successful. After changing the admin password, and logging back into the web interface, the admin functions for Modoboa are not present, and the button to add a domain is missing.

After one new identity and two alias were created, now receiving the error message of maximum alias and Mailboxes: limit reached. Since I can't get into the modoboa settings, I can't look for the configuration setttings.

Any direction on how to 'refresh' or re-deploy access to admin@mail.domain.com account to restore?

@SaintShaggy Looks like you downgraded the default superadmin account to a domain admin one... Are you sure this is the only user you have?

...weirdness, I will take the blame. For some reason I couldn't log in as 'Admin' but only 'admin@mydomain.com' from my laptop. I was able to log in as Admin from my PC, and have the appropriate permissions. I have made an additional SuperAdmin user and am no longer stuck. Thank you,
