registering leads to error page

[LWAA]

I have set up my gallery so you need to be registered to view any albums. I tested it by registering and got the confirmation email, but when I clicked on the link in that email, it lead me to a page that said "Error: You don't have permission to access this page." Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?
In the users page, I see the new user I generated, and it says "inactive" under the group, I assume that when I confirm via email (if it worked) this would change to read "registered".
If I click on "modify user" I see that this user is listed as "registered", but "inactive"

hmm... Are you logged in as admin (or at all) when you click on the link?

yes that was it - sorry! All's well now.
