Dear support team,
I am quite sure that there is a solution for my silly problem, but I did not found it.
When I change a user configuration (enable, disable, passwort or something like that) I am not able to save the changes. An access violation error is shown. I have to rename the
/plugins/system/admintools/admintools/main.php
and then I can save the changes.
Do you have a hint how to solve that problem?
All the best

Yes, that is an Admin Tools feature. If is intended to keep users from increasing their security level.

Go to Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF, on the Hardening Options tab, set "Disable editing backend users' properties" to No. Then you'll be able to add or change back end users.
