Admin user email address

Hi. I have two Admin user accounts in a Perch cms site and both use the same email address. When I try to update some details in either account I get the message that the email address "is incomplete or in use". I don't want to change the email address but nor will Perch allow me to delete one of the User Admin accounts. How can I get round this problem?

You can't have two accounts with the same email address. You'll need to change one of them.

OK, but I don't understand in that case how Perch let me create them in the first place.

Me neither. Can you explain what you did?

Sorry, no. It was my first installation, I became confused (more so than normal), messed around and ended up with 2 Admin users. Ideally I'd like to delete one but that's not an option in the interface. Never mind.

It could be that you ran setup twice. Perch now has safeguards for that scenario, but it didn't always.

Very likely running setup twice is what I did. Thanks for your time anyway
