I get the same thing.

However, I looked there and there is no such line. I.e. the "administration" group type does not exist at all.

There is something wrong---don't know what though, and I am eager to find out in lab.

I had this problem too. The cause was that I was missing the table administration_info. Don't ask me how, but I was.

I went in the file www/doc/sql/user-groups.sql, copied the declaration of administration_info into sqlplus, and created the table.

This solved the problem.
