Rights not migrating

I’m migrating from RT v.3.0.9, Postgres to v3.6.0, MySQL v 5.0.22 on
Fedora Core 5. Our old setup has a group called RT_Admin to which I
belong. This group has SuperUser rights.

I’m using the script for moving from Postgres to MySQL posted on the
wiki by, I believe, Jesse. Previously, I’ve had no problems with this
process. However, now when I move the database dump-file over to the
new version the rights of that group are apparently wiped out as no one
in the RT_Admin group has access to the Configuration menu.

Have others had this happen? As I said, previously it wasn’t an issue.
It suddenly has become one though. Any help would be appreciated.

Grant ShowConfigTab rights to the group. This was, IIRC, a change in
the 3.4.x branch so that root wasn’t a ticket owner simply because of
SuperUser rights.

I’ll try that though I’ve found since posting my question that the group
isn’t even being brought over. It wasn’t a problem a couple of weeks
ago though.

However, having inherited the system, I didn’t know the root user
password. I’ve since found out what it is and am able to correct the
problem after migrating all the data by re-adding the group as root.
