Current build of 4.1.0-dev, if you go into Administration -> Permissions -> Settings and give a permission to Admin, the setting is then permanently removed from the Administration panel.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go To Administration -> Permissions -> Settings
  2. Go to E2E Encryption
  3. Give permission (check box) to Admin
  4. Reload
  5. Encryption is now missing from Settings menu.
  6. Go to Administration -> Permissions -> Settings
  7. Undo changes made to E2E Encryption
  8. Reload
  9. Encryption is remains missing from the Settings menu with no way to restore. -- Issue only appears to be on Desktop Client so may be different issue.
