After installing the admin tools pro I can not manage any user. I receive an error 403 when I want to save the user. After removing, not deactivating, the admin tools pro I can manage users again.

Problem with FoF?

Sincerely

Not a problem at all, it is part of your security.

To disable that feature, go to Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF, on the Joomla! Feature Hardening Options tab, set the first option, Disable editing backend users' properties, to "No".

When you need to test something, disabling the System - Admin Tools plugin is usually easier and faster than uninstalling Admin Tools. That disables all of the WAF functions, everything except any changes you may have made to .htaccess.

Peter,

It is possible the plugin code was still active in the cache. We see that pretty frequently. Note too that disabling the plugin does not disable the .htaccess file changes that may have been made through .htaccess Maker.
