[Sandstorm] Cannot create currencies, error message unhelpful

[ocdtrekkie]

I am running Firefly III version 4.6.11 on Sandstorm

Description of my issue:

Creating currencies specifies to email "mail@example.com" if you'd like currencies added. This is both in the form of a blue banner that appears on the currencies tab and a red banner that appears when you attempt to press the Create currency button.

That's because you are not an admin for the instance. Refer to #741 on how to promote your user if you have access to the database

@simhnna That isn't really an option on the Sandstorm version.

As a useful note on this: This is only still an issue on instances of Firefly III that were upgraded from earlier versions. I just created a new one, and it works correctly.

It may make sense as a migration somewhere in a future version, if Firefly III only has one user and is running on Sandstorm, to upgrade the user to admin, if that is what is missing.

Thanks for letting me know! I've seen it before, some times users aren't raised to the admin level even when they're the only one around.

I shall add something to the login routine. That should catch them all.
