Admin (System Administrator) cannot update user passwords. The Password field in the User table is not even visible. Has anyone seen this before? I was recently upgraded to Istanbul Patch 5 but I noticed this a couple weeks ago before the upgrade. I not aware of any modifications to any of the Admin user settings (roles, groups etc.) but I'm not sure what the defaults should be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I do have another user named ADMIN2 with admin role. ADMIN2 can see and update the password field but for some reason cannot do everything the default ADMIN could do. I need to fix default ADMIN. I think the issue is the security_admin role, it's missing. I can't add it to ADMIN or any user. It seems to have "disappeared" a few weeks ago.

Security admin role - In the base system, only the default System Administrator user has the security_admin role. Since it requires elevating privileges, the System Administrator does not have this role at login. After elevating privileges, the System Administrator user has the security_admin role for the duration of the user session.
