Re: [p4] Unable to create new user.

I haven't seen "Write" permission used on any protection table entry. "write" permission, yes; "Write" permission, no.

It might be capitalization of the permission. Be careful with that.

Also, always remember to include the 'super' permission as the last entry. Remember that later entries in the 'p4 protect' table can override/obsolete earlier ones in the same table, so you want the very last entry to read "super user admin * //..." or "super group admin * //..." (where 'admin' is a user or group that needs that permission).
