Unfortunately I cannot reproduce your problem. This leaves few possibilites:

- any login user CAN change his/her full name, email address etc. but only admin
users can change ALL OTHERS as well. Admin users should see a "change elogd.cfg"
button on the config page, whil normal users will not

- are you sure you logged out as admin user and loggin in again as non-admin
user? Under some circumstances, the browser keeps old cookies which can confuse
things. Best is if you delete all browser cookies and try again (Tools/Internet
Options/Delete Cookies in IE).
