In order to test changes to non-publically-viewable sections of the Support Board, you need to grant the appropriate Privileges to the accounts you wish to use for testing.

The System account ([info]system) is initially granted the priv admin:* when you run make_system.pl. This enables [info]system to grant privileges to itself and any other account, via the Admin console using the command priv grant. All other privileges must be granted manually.
