@drzraf I’m glad to hear that it’s working again!
You mentioned this a couple of times so I thought would respond as having an admin locked out is clearly a bad scenario. Documentation states that all default are are set to true. Passbolt Help | How to configure email notification settings for your organization. In the /etc/passbolt/default.php file you will find defaults and they are set to true.
For future reference and anyone else who might run into this scenario, the assumption is the admin has access to the db. In addition to overriding any defaults we have statically overwritten in the config files, we can select * from organization_settings to see what the status is of anything we can’t reach in the UI.
