[rt-users] Permission Error message eventhough changes were saved

[Mai Le]

To reproduce the errors:

Everyone has Modify Seft Rights.

Log on as a privileged user.  Click on Preferences.  Change any
parameter (ie change nickname from blank to "haha").
When clicking on "Save Preferences", Results says:
User 154: Nickname: Permission Denied

Click Home to go leave the Preferences page.  Click Preferences again to
go back to the Preferences page and the Nickname field is now "haha".

I tested it on "Email, Real Name, Nickname, Home numbers,
work,location".  I haven't test changing the password since we use LDAP
authentication or the other fields but I guess the other fields would
give me the same error.

It sounds like a bug. Can you describe exactly which things are clicked
on and typed to reproduce the issue?

	Thanks,
