Description

I'm one of the (seemingly) many who have the "you don't have permission to do that" problem. I've tried re-asserting myself in the administrator role... No luck. Couldn't even create a user with javascript enabled. So, I did some looking into it. It appears that when the call is made to check capabilities, it is looking for the capability "unfiltered_html" first, then failing and giving the permission error. And that's with deleting categories, adding categories, deleting posts, and adding users.
Also, I double-checked the database wp_usermeta table to ensure that the two fields for my level and role were set to 10 and administrator (well, a:1{s:"Administrator";b:1;})...and they are. I hope that helps in determining the source of the error a little bit more.

Could you paste the content of your $wpdb->prefix user_roles option? (e.g. wp_user_roles)

Be sure to use triple curly braces to mark it as code so the WikiFormatting doesn't eat it.

I forgot about this! (until it started happening on a clean blog). I am currently noticing it for creating categories. It won't do it through the AJAX.

$wp_user_roles = array(
