Still no resolution. Something is definitely buggy about the Wix users API. The Wix documentation says that there are three types of users: visitor, member, and admin. A visitor is a user who is not logged into the site, and admin is the site owner. But the admin obviously must be logged into the site as well; otherwise how would the API distinguish between a visitor and the admin?
Also, the admin apparently cannot also be a site “member,” and contributors designated as “admin” are not admins for purposes of the users object.
Finally, why should I be required to add a “members” login app to achieve this functionality for me, the admin, when the code works without it for visitors (who, by definition, are not logged in)?
I suppose that’s why it’s still in BETA, but frustrating nonetheless.
