-# click '''edit user groups'''
+Alternatively I could re-set the email address or password right in the database, but that would be somewhat high risk because I don't know for sure how that all works.
-# select any entries on '''"left" side''' under the  '''"Member of"''' column (click on all items listed by holding the ctrl-button to select each one. )
-# click "save user groups"
-This will have removed the user's rights. If you want to check that the user's rights have been deleted, go through the same steps as above; if there is nothing list under '''"Member of",''' which is the "'''left'''" side of column, the user has been disabled.
