NOTE:If changing the user as which one is currently logged in, changes in permissions will not apply until after the user is logged off. †This includes deleting the user that's logged in.

IMPORTANT NOTE:Be careful not to delete your last Admin-level user; the system won't prevent this, but doing so may prevent you from ever changing users again.
