How can one prevent losing admin rights in a PHP forum after changing group permissions?

After changing group permissions in a PHP forum, one can prevent losing admin rights by ensuring that the admin user's permissions are explicitly set to include all necessary privileges. This can be achieved by checking and updating the admin user's permissions after any changes to group permissions. 

// Check and update admin user's permissions after changing group permissions
if ($user_id === $admin_id) {
    $admin_permissions = array('create_post', 'delete_post', 'edit_post', 'ban_user'); // Example admin privileges
    $current_permissions = getUserPermissions($user_id); // Function to get user's current permissions
    $new_permissions = array_merge($current_permissions, $admin_permissions);
    updateUserPermissions($user_id, $new_permissions); // Function to update user's permissions
}
