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:
- Go To Administration -> Permissions -> Settings
- Go to E2E Encryption
- Give permission (check box) to Admin
- Reload
- Encryption is now missing from Settings menu.
- Go to Administration -> Permissions -> Settings
- Undo changes made to E2E Encryption
- Reload
- 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.
