We have recently receieved a site built around umbraco (4.5.2) from a contractor. We are taking over full responsibility for it, and I'm trying to figure out how the administrator user type works. Me and one other person in my group were given new accounts in umbraco, to the already existing list of developers, and we were given the admin type of "Administrator". But for some reason when navigating through the Content section in the content tree, I get "The current user doesn't have permissions to edit this document. Please contact the system administrator." Meanwhile, my co-worker is able to get access to everything. Granting me access at each node level (right click the node, select permissions, and then checking all the boxes) solves the problem, but why would he be allowed in an not me? Out of curiosity I looked at the umbracouser2nodepermission table. Neither of us had anything listed in there for our user ids at first, but then as my user was granted at each node level I, records showed up for me, as expceted. But as mentioned, there's nothing in there for him. I thought there might even bee some global record i.e. userid "123" has access to "*" . But no. Also looking at the umbracoUser table, comparing our 2 accounts, they are identical with the exception of id,username,userLogin,password,email.
Anyway, at the moment I'm having difficulty helping the developers when I cant even see the content tree.
From what I can tell the accounts are identical. I'm looking directly in the umbracouser database. As far as packages installed, there isnt anything for user administration. We have:
countour (which currently shows me checked for everything in the contour user administration)
Does an administrator type have access to everything

That's odd. Just thinking out loud here:
1) Do both user accounts have exactly the same settings? (e.g. start node in content, sections, content channel, ..)
2) Are there any 3rd party packages installed that might involve user management?
From what I can tell the accounts are identical. I'm looking directly in the umbracouser database. As far as packages installed, there isnt anything for user administration. We have:
countour (which currently shows me checked for everything in the contour user administration)
uComponent
CmsImport
FamFamFam Icon Package
XLSTsearch Runway Module
Very strange.
Hmm, I don't think any of those packages are anyhow related to user management.
Have you compared the 2 accounts in the user interface?
I'm not sure if any of these settings are stored outside of the umbracouser table.
Yeah they're basically identical, with the exception of username display name, password etc.
