Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Whenever I try to use image import from any account other than the first user account, I get the following error: "Your user account has not been configured to allow any upload extensions. The site administrator will need to fix this for you in the settings for the "upload" module."
Looking at the uploads setting, I see the following permitted extensions: jpg jpeg gif png txt html doc xls pdf ppt pps. Obviously, something is not working.

darren ohThis problem disappeared when I click Save Configuration on the uploads settings page.

syscrusher commentedFor the sake of security, the module defaults to the strictest possible permissions (that is, none at all) for roles other than the administrative user. As the error message says, this is fixed by assigning appropriate permissions in the settings page.
Kind regards,
Scott

darren ohIt would be helpful if the error message disclosed that the configuration for upload extensions will need to be saved even if extensions already appear to be configured.
