After the recent upgrade from 4.6.2 to 4.7.3, every admin page I visit is reported in logs as "Access denied to admin/[...]", although I do visit them normally. These logs are attributed to Anonymous user, but the visits are done by the admin (myself).

Although this is not generating any noticeable problem, I wonder if this is a symptom of something more serious going on. Should I worry about these erratic logs?

Thanks

I would qiuckly check out your user, user_roles, and permissions tables in the database and see if the uids and rids line up.

Thanks yvelle for your reply. Could you detail it a bit? What do you mean by "see if the uids and rids line up"? Can this be done via PHP MyAdmin (which is the only way within my reach to manipulate databases)?

Thanks.

Pages of the kind user/xxx and profile/profile_[field]/[...] also generate "Acces denied" logs by Anonymous. Only authenticated users have permission to visit these pages, and they are doing it normally despite the logs.
