Troubleshooting an Administrator Authorization No Longer Valid Message

Troubleshooting an Administrator Authorization No Longer Valid Message requires identifying whether the problem is in plugin visibility, target eligibility, the short-lived handoff, or the separate frontend session before changing configuration.

Diagnostic procedure

  1. Return to Joomla Administrator and confirm the issuing account still has Super User/core.admin.
  2. If permissions changed intentionally, do not use the old handoff.
  3. If the change was accidental, restore the correct administrator authorization through normal Joomla ACL management.
  4. Create a new QCUI handoff only after administrator authority is correct.

Keep the layers separate

This is consume-time issuer revalidation. Confirm the issuing account still has core.admin, then create a new handoff; the old token should not survive an authorization change.

Information to preserve

Record which administrator issued the handoff and whether that account still has core.admin at consume time. Do not preserve or share the old token after authorization changed.

When to escalate

If Troubleshooting an Administrator Authorization No Longer Valid Message persists after the documented layer is verified, stop creating repeated handoffs and preserve the exact error/context. A private support case should include version/state evidence but never passwords, session cookies, MFA secrets, or raw QCUI tokens.
