Hi Jonathan, Marc, et al

By default PM's are disabled for the new-registered-users group - of
which Marc is currently a member - you can change this by configuring
group permissions (much much preferred to changing permissions per
user). Also, the platform supports 'roles' and the best practice is to
assign rights to roles and then assign roles to groups - this way, when
there exceptions to be granted they can be done by creating a special
role, change permissions for the new role and then assign that role to
the user account, without changing their group membership.

Also 
- I've added you and me into the Admin group, with Alex as the group
lead.

- Also added you into the global moderators group, as the group leader.
