First time local installation - privileges needed for settings

[soniafaiz]

Hello,

I've installed and started up the Ontos frontend and backend locally, and the server output messages show that it has completed successfully. On opening the app locally, I'm unable to access any options including settings. I've checked my profile and it's says I'm logged in with the default Admin role:

but while trying to access the settings page it displays an access denied message saying that Administration privileges are needed.

I have followed the steps mentioned in the README.md and CONFIGURING.md docs, and for the user guide I'm unable to complete the first step due to lack of permissions to the settings options including access control to set the roles.

Please let me know if you could help as I'm not sure if I've missed something, and I'm keen to try out Ontos.

Thanks,
Sonia

I've made a temporary code change just to get it working locally (hard coded a role assigned group so that it defaults to give admin privileges), but if possible, it would be good to know the correct way, or whether I was missing a configuration.
Thanks
