Issue/Introduction

The admin username and group are used throughout the application and should not be deleted or changed.  If the admin group is deleted or renamed, the system may display "Invalid Permissions" for most operations and potentially there will be no data returned from most reports.

Environment

Security Analytics 8.x

Cause

This may be caused by the renaming or deleting of the admin user or group. There are other causes to the "Invalid Permissions" message in the top left corner.  For example, a user may be trying to configure users when they do not have that role or they are accessing another feature for which they do not have permission.
