I've just created a new portal on a DNN 5.4.2 instance.  I'm fairly sure that I've followed the same steps as for the other portals on the installation, but there are some oddities which I don't really understand.

If I login with the superuser account and hit Page Settings, I have a padlock against View page & Edit Page for All Users and a green tick against both for Administrators - so I can't modify the vpage visibility for All Users.

The page settings screen shows a red border with the 'Visible By Administrators Only'  title.

If I log out, I can still see the full control panel although I can't switch from view Mode.  All the common tasks are disabled.  All the Page functions except Delete are enabled.  The <Select a module> dropdown shows all the non-core modules I've added to the site.

What have I done?  I've never seen this before and the other portals on the install look just fine.

Any ideas or pointers?

It looks like the permissions for the new portal have not been set correctly.  Although there was no error reported on the portal creation, after the application restart I got the following two errors in the evnet log:-

The AministratorId in the Portals table was NULL and the AdministratorRoleID and RegisteredRoleID were set to -1 - I've reset these to vailid values for the portals and think I just need to set the correct permissions on the tabpermissions table - but I haven't been able to get my head round the relationships yet.
