IMCE Profile Access

I am having the same problem. And yes, I have made sure that the other profiles are not using the maintenance setup.

It was actually a feature where profile#1 is editable by only user#1.

Hi, can you kindly explain what does it mean?
WHat should I do to make the IMCE file browser usable by non admin users?
Thanks a lot

It's not about allowing users to access IMCE. You can always create a new configuration profile and assign it to the user roles you like.

Do you mind to state the steps clearly so that junior developer like me or rather beginner will know what to do?
Your helps is very much appreciated.

i have exactly the same problem and i am not using profile-1 nor sample profile, means I did setup a dedicated profile for another role and also allocated the profile to that role. I even tried with profile-1 settings populated into this new profile, I still get the access denied error for this role.

admin can still upload images, so it should not be any server configuration and rights issue here. any more hints?

Same deal here. Anyone solve this one yet?

Just installed IMCE and ran into this problem...

On our site, we've got a single sign on system so really no one should ever be logged in as admin. We get by with the 'administrator' role and, in special circumstances, when I truly need uid 1, I'll work around it by using drush and/or disabling the SSO module temporarily, but it is a pain.

Maybe I'm not understanding something about how this works and why it was chosen to use admin role so specifically, but wouldn't it be better if a check was performed for the 'administrator' role instead of uid 1?

Something like this,

  function isAdmin( $user ) {
    return is_array($user->roles) && in_array('administrator', $user->roles); 
  }

I can roll a patch for this, but I'm curious if the maintainer(s) can elaborate on this feature and why it exists... is there a reason checks like these can't go based on the administrator role? Right now it feels like I'm locked out of my own site :)

I had this issue as well. Make sure you set the configuration permissions correctly here: /admin/config/media/imce as User-1, or whatever you want to call it.

IMCE is now allowing administrators to edit User-1 profile.

If you are experiencing such problem. Simply disable the imce module, delete it the module folder and reinstall it.
